"We're wanting to eliminate single-use plastic waste from NHS Scotland."
@Design_HOPES @UniStrathclyde @HeriotWattUni are trialing theatre caps made from plant-based fibres in the Golden Jubilee University National Hospital, in order to reduce waste in hospitals across Scotland.

Our textile scientists worked with @JubileeHospital & @UniStrathclyde to co-design sustainable operating theatre caps made from plant-based materials. Some single-use caps take 300 years to fully decompose.

Delighted to announce that #DiagnosticDiscard, an exhibition co-produced with @DiaDev_Research will be shown at #PlasticLive Coventry 12-13th June 2024 thanks to support from @Design_HOPES @EdinburghUni @uoessps @edinburghearth @HeriotWattUni @HeriotWatt_EPS @nomadexhibit
ALT Diagnostic Discard: The making of a plastic pandemic is an exhibition created by Professor Alice Street (University of Edinburgh) and Professor Maïwenn Kersaudy-Kerhoas (Heriot-Watt University) on the occasion of "Plastic Pandemic: Rethinking Medical Device Innovation, Use and Disposal for a Circular Economy", a Symposium held at the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute on the 1st of June 2023. The exhibition showcases the results of a field investigation into the impact of medical waste on communities in Sierra Leone, and highlights the need for designers and manufacturers to consider the full lifecycle of tests and the environmental costs of single-use items. The exhibition explores the neglect of environmental sustainability considerations within efforts to improve access to diagnostic testing in global health and propose sustainable solutions for eco-responsible tests.
