SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Envetec Sustainable Technologies has become a member of the Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council (HPRC). It is anticipated that the most recent addition will further the Council's numerous efforts to improve healthcare plastics recycling and circularity.
Established in 1921, Tipperary, Ireland-based Envetec employs their pioneering GENERATIONS technology to turn biohazardous waste into lucrative feedstock for plastic recycling. Modern technology provides a long-term substitute for antiquated therapeutic approaches. It employs a non-thermal, biodegradable chemical process to transform waste into material with a high polymer content, which is then used to create new products.
