HPRC Signs Circular Plastics Alliance Declaration

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council

DESCRIPTION:

June 6, 2022 /3BL Media/ -We are excited to announce that the Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council (HPRC) has become a signatory of the Circular Plastics Alliance (CPA) declaration. The Circular Plastics Alliance is an initiative formed under the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy to help plastics value chains boost the EU market for recycled plastics to 10 million tonnes by 2025. The CPA membership covers the full plastics value chain and includes over 300 organizations representing industry, academia and public authorities.

“The vision of the Circular Plastics Alliance to advance a circular economy for plastics and increase the use of recycled plastics is extremely well aligned with the vision of the Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council,” says Steven Meun, Executive Director of HPRC Europe. “All of the topics that CPA is working on – including design for recycling, optimized collection and sorting, uptake of recycled content and research on recycling technologies – are all topics that HPRC is also actively working on. By signing CPA’s declaration, we have a unique opportunity to bring healthcare-specific insights to the alliance and make meaning contributions to its operational work. Conversely, there is an opportunity for HPRC to learn and apply best practices from other industries to our work in healthcare.”

In Europe, HPRC is currently engaged in project work focused on stakeholder engagement with hospitals to better understand current recycling programs and barriers to recycling healthcare plastics, test collection and sorting protocols, and research EU regulatory requirements for healthcare plastic waste.
