This state of affairs is under increased scrutiny due to mounting evidence of the long term environmental and human health impacts of an industry built on disposability. Evidence around harmful chemical additives and plastic pollution is beginning to reshape how manufacturers, procurement teams, regulators, healthcare providers and end users think about material risk — not just environmental risk, but patient safety risk and long-term liability. The pressure on manufacturers to offer alternatives is rising and organisational reputation risks are increasing. After the Single Use is a historical and social research project examining how the industry became so dependent on plastics, how we can rethink their role and value in healthcare, and what viable alternatives and transition pathways exist. This talk introduces our novel dataset which divulges the material composition of common single use medical devices and invites you to explore device-specific issues, alternatives and solutions with us.
