> Say goodbye to many if not most medical plastics - especially those use for artificial joints and similar implantable devices.
Being in (home) dialysis, I generate a lot of waste. I get 30+ boxes of supplies every month. Loads on single use plastic fluid bags, wraps, cassettes, hoses, etc. All need to be single use sterile. Without these disposable materials, they used glass bottles in the past and people would get infections in a manner of weeks to months. I heard it can still happen but much rarer. And people have told me the pain from these infections are quite unbearable.
