It can also contain and remove bodily fluid spillages. There is no risk of creating resistance in pathogens because of the way AHP destroys viruses and bacteria.

RECOMED


RecoMed is a PVC medical devices take-back scheme recognised for its innovative approach to sustainable healthcare recycling.


The UK-wide scheme is run by project partners Axion Consulting, a resource recovery specialist, and the British Plastics Federation (BPF). Set up in 2014, RecoMed supplies recycling containers, communication materials and collections to participating NHS and private hospitals.


Funded by VinylPlus, the voluntary commitment to sustainable development by the European PVC industry, the scheme provides an alternative, sustainable disposal route for waste medical items made from high-quality medical grade PVC. This material has been recycled back into new goods, such as horticultural products, by specialist recyclers.


It is estimated that up to 2,250 tonnes of PVC could be recycled by collecting items, such as anaesthetic facemasks, oxygen masks and associated tubing, from UK hospitals. Participating hospitals save money on waste disposal costs by recycling non-infectious PVC medical items instead of sending them to clinical waste streams which are either incinerated or sent to specialist landfill sites.
