We all know that the healthcare industry is unsustainable, but we usually think of that in terms of cost and how it hits our wallets. But it can also be damaging to the environment. Granted, we need single-use plastics for essential things like surgical gloves or catheter tubes because it helps ward off infectious diseases, not to mention that whole sterility thing.
But there is still plenty of plastic waste that the medical world needs to address, particularly when it comes to the pharmaceutical industry. As we know, pills require a packaging system to carry them from prescriber or pharmacist to patient.
But what if there was a way to transport these pills without using harmful polyethylene bottles or plastic blister packs?
