Medical waste comes in many forms and from many sources. Doctors
offices and hospitals are only the beginning. Dental offices, blood
banks, and vet clinics also produce medical waste.
Medical waste can be
liquids, solids, semi-solids, or contained gases. They can be
manufacturing process byproducts, sludges or spent materials, or simply
discarded products.
Whatever their form, proper management and disposal is essential
to protect human health and the environment.
Laundry detergent bottles fall under the category of Plastic #2, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), along with other products like cleaner bottles, milk jugs, and other rigid, non-clear/colored plastics.
This material is definitely in demand and recyclable in many conventional recycling centers.
