GreenMed® diverts clean hospital waste from landfill & redesigns it into new second life clinical products, to replace virgin plastics in the healthcare setting

[GreenMed® Australia @greenmedaus]

A Tasmanian startup is working to reduce the tonnes of waste from hospital single-use plastics by creating a closed-loop recycling program, where the plastic that is collected, is returned back to healthcare.

When polypropylene (PP5) is at its very high melting point, it liquifies & can be cooled & reheated without significant degradation, making it perfect for recycling.

What everyday items can you find in your hospital that could be replaced with recycled, custom made products?

[GreenMed® Australia @greenmedaus]

Through habit and routine, it’s easy to be oblivious to the amount of single use plastic in the operating theatre. But once you start to take notice, it’s impossible not to register.

Turn it over and take a look.

What can you find, that you didn’t know contained plastic?

[Keep Australia Beautiful @KABNAHQ]

It's time to welcome back Keep Australia Beautiful Week for 2021! From August 16-22, we're putting plastic in the spotlight as we call on all Aussies to make a pledge to ditch single-use plastic. Get involved today: https://t.co/4ajv5p5AD4

[GreenMed® Australia @greenmedaus]

With a bit of rethinking and innovation, it is possible.

The next stage of our #keepmeintheloop program is the removal of contaminants such as indicator tape & labels.

We engage local social enterprise organisations to perform this important work. They also collect, compact & bail the material ready for processing & manufacturing.

[GreenMed® Australia @greenmedaus]

We’ll just leave this here…

Logistics covered.

With our social enterprise partners & manufacturers at Envorinex, GreenMed facilitate transition of the raw material through the wastage stream as well as getting the new, second life products transferred through the supply chain.
