I'm generally on board with the idea, but there's one massive elephant in the room that needs talking about. Health care has shitloads upon shitloads of single-use plastic. How would you propose helping there while maintaining or improving cross-contamination? I've been an advocate of moving to metals that can be put in a furnace and given an ammonia bath. Yes you're "reusing" things like syringes and such but nothing biohazard going to be left after incineration and ammonia baths. I don't know much about ammonia bath use, but I know throwing the metal portions into a furnace that can melt them and re-use raw stock from that is more than hot enough to kill any possible contaminants. You need to do more than just destroy organic material you also need to cleanse possible allergens which includes leftover Ash. What would the ash be from for allergens? The idea I'm envisioning is to throw all the metal parts into a smelter to re-make into raw metal stock to be remade into needles and other one-use metallic items. Oh no I was thinking metal that could survive the incineration and you just reuse it as is. Not smelt it down to base materials. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:904398805] in Single-use...
