$1000/ton is $1/kg. Most medical plastic items are tens of grams - so 1 cent.

So the cost of materials for petroleum prodycts would go up by something like 6x. In the US, this cost will get absorbed. But if you are in subsaharan Africa, 6x more expensive IV tubes and syringes is extremely consequential.
