Designing for recycling and sustainability in healthcare packaging
Sustainability is a growing concern across industries, and healthcare packaging is no exception. The need to increase recyclability while reducing the environmental footprint has led to a focus on designing recyclable plastic packaging solutions; however, designing for recyclability is not a simple task for healthcare packaging given the regulatory requirements and the importance of protecting patient safety.
The panel discussion will explore the impact of sustainability regulations on the medical packaging market.
We will delve into specific design guidelines and recyclability assessments that medical packaging designers and manufacturers can follow to improve recyclability and minimise the environmental impact of packaging waste. We will also learn about the actions healthcare systems have taken to implement healthcare plastics recycling programmes.
