Optimising waste for more efficient ORs

Instead of dozens of individually wrapped items, your complete custom procedure tray comes in just one package. This means you can generate less waste in the operating theatres and reduce your disposal costs.

Medline can offer custom box sizes to customers, which reduces cardboard use by an estimated 54% and plastic waste by an estimated 28%.​ ​

Our sustainable solutions

Medline Europe offers a collection of products that are environmentally responsible and good for your business. These include: ​

  • Fluid-resistant paper for trays​
  • Pigment-free plastic holloware​
  • Plant-based materials for dishes

 

Plant-based products are made from upcycled sugarcane bagasse and designed for use in procedures to hold fluids and medical supplies, as they are coated with biocompatible film free of intentionally added BPA or BPA-derived plastics, mercury, phthalates, and PVC. Pigment-free plastic has fewer caustic ingredients used in manufacturing, making it less dangerous in the workplace.
