A groundbreaking new study by Spanish technical institute AIMPLAS confirms that flexible vinyl – also known as PVC – used in medical devices can be mechanically recycled up to six times without significant loss of quality. This is a major step forward in creating a circular healthcare economy by reducing waste, improving resource efficiency, and maintaining patient safety.
In this presentation, Ole Grøndahl Hansen, Project Leader of the newly established VinylPlus Healthcare, will present both the key findings of this study and the vision behind the new platform. VinylPlus Healthcare is a strong signal that the vinyl industry is stepping up its communication and collaboration around the role of this essential material in healthcare – with a clear focus on science, sustainability, and innovation.
Join this session to learn how facts, research, and forward-looking strategies are coming together – and how your business can be part of this development.
