Discussing plastic waste in the health care system with Clare Atkinson of Nu Green

We’re joined on the podcast by Clare Atkinson, Founder and Director of R&D at NuGreen, a sustainability consultancy researching the use of plastic in the health care sector and how resources from medical waste can be recovered and recycled. We discuss NuGreen’s work to date, the challenges and opportunities when it comes to using plastic in the health care sector, and a new project funded through the Cumbria Action for Sustainability’s W&F Green Enterprise hub looking at reducing plastic waste from medical equipment.
