Plastics have been an essential part of medical technology for decades. In order to secure medical care for mankind, the material must therefore be handled in a sustainable manner. One option: Recycling! But can recyclates be used in medical technology?
A sterile barrier packaging made of plastic ensures that medical devices such as needles or surgical instruments remain germ-free for a long time. Only in this way can they be used safely. What sterility is, why we need it and whether bioplastics are suitable as a sterile barrier is summarized in this article by BIOVOX expert Maria Heckel.
The term bioplastic is a bit complicated, as it does not mean one thing and different people use it to describe different things. Bioplastics can have a bio-based content, be biodegradable or biocompatible.
Together, we take a look at how to pragmatically and easily become greener in your application, and what sustainability potential you can leverage with us.
