I am having a hard time… with the concept of biodegradable gloves in a medical & #healthcare context. 🌱 In the pursuit of a greener tomorrow, I strongly advocate #sustainbility and preserving the #environment. However, amidst the push for eco-friendly solutions, there's a critical need to discern fact from fiction. Lately, I've observed a surge in the promotion of biodegradable gloves as a one-size-fits-all remedy, particularly within the medical sector. It's a narrative that raises concerns, and here's why: 🧤 In the high-demand world of medical and healthcare, the sheer volume of gloves required poses a challenge. Relying on biodegradable options might seem like a noble #environmental effort, but it's a bypass assumption that warrants scrutiny. ☣️ Notably, medical waste is often classified as hazardous due to contamination risks—substances like blood or bodily fluids that pose a potential #health threat. Contrary to the idea of biodegradability, this waste is incinerated for safety reasons, rendering the eco-friendly aspect futile. ⛔ Labeling and marketing biodegradable medical gloves as a sustainability boon in the medical field is, in my view, misleading and borderline greenwashing. I am excited to see how and if the term will be treated in the European Union’s Green Claims directive that aims to prevent greenwashing claims. Unfamiliar? Explore it here: https://lnkd.in/dQEVvT63 🙅 My intention is not to discourage the potential of biodegradable materials, but rather to shed light on their appropriateness. Biodegradable gloves are a fantastic concept, just not the ideal fit for medical applications. We all strive to play our part in environmental preservation, myself included. 💡 If this sheds light on something new for you, I'm thrilled. However, is there a viable solution to this pressing dilemma? At Sempermed we are actively addressing this challenge by assessing the environmental footprint of our “more #sustainable” gloves such as the Malachite through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This proactive approach enables us to identify and implement measures aimed at reducing environmental impact across the entire value chain, distinguishing us from the 'end-of-life' approach often associated with biodegradable gloves. #innovation #medicine #healthandsafety
