Hourglass International Launches RenuCycle
The goal is to keep disposable personal protective equipment (PPE) out of landfills. The waste management program is available through distributors in USA and Canada as “a streamlined, eco-friendly alternative to landfill disposal for gloves, masks, gowns, and more”. RenuCycle provides purpose-built collection containers. Businesses order their collection containers through a partnered distributor, fill them with used PPE, and send them back for recycling. However, PPE contaminated with acidic, toxic, caustic, or infectious chemicals (e.g., sulfuric acid, mercury, sodium hydroxide, E. coli) are not accepted.
