What Plastic Scrap Comes from Medical Manufacturing?
Medical manufacturing produces highly specialized plastic materials—many of which can still be recycled under the right conditions.
Common Medical Plastics
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE)
- Polycarbonate
- PVC (in some applications)
Types of Scrap Generated
- Injection molding scrap
- Packaging waste
- Production rejects
- Trim and purge material
⚠️ Note: Post-consumer medical waste is regulated, but post-industrial scrap is often recyclable.
Key Considerations
- Must be non-contaminated
- Requires proper segregation
- Must meet regulatory standards
