Time to Rethink Medical Waste: A Sustainable Shift in Healthcare Packaging
Canada’s healthcare sector is world-class—but it’s also one of the highest per capita producers of medical waste globally. A major contributor? Single-use plastics.
From blister packs to IV bags, plastic is essential for safety—but devastating for the environment. These materials don’t degrade, piling up in landfills and polluting ecosystems.
At PHBRITE Technologies Inc., we believe healthcare should protect people and the planet. That’s why we’ve developed biodegradable plastics made from PHB and PHBV—safe for medical use and capable of fully degrading in just two weeks under the right conditions.
