Thanks for what you do! I’m currently in life sciences myself working in a lab that utilizes many single use plastics. In a past lab that I’ve worked in, a fellow worker employed a PPE recycling program within the university that helped lessen our single use footprint. At the time I didn’t think too much of it, but in a different lab where I’m currently employed we use a lot single use plastics comparable to what you would find in labs that practice sterile technique.
What are some ways that I can start to change the way we handle our biohazardous single use plastics? I work at a relatively large university, so I know they may have the facilities to start a recycling program if it’s appealing enough. Have you dealt with this kind of issue at universities?
