Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council Conducts Advanced Recycling Pilot Project

Stuart Mitchell

Over the course of 2021, the Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council (HPRC) embarked on a second phase of advanced recycling work and partnered with advanced recyclers to conduct a pilot project to better understand the suitability of a mixed stream of healthcare plastics as a feedstock for different advanced recycling technologies. The goal of this work was to uncover new recycling opportunities that will reduce landfill waste, carbon emissions associated with creating virgin plastic, and reliance on fossil fuels — ultimately enabling greater material circularity. This pilot project builds upon HPRC’s…
