Medical products, particularly diagnostic and testing cassettes, are commonly designed for single-use, resulting in massive amounts of plastic waste. The disposal of these plastic-based medical items, which are primarily composed of non-biodegradable materials, poses a significant challenge as they take an incredibly long time to degrade naturally. Consequently, these discarded medical products accumulate in the environment, exacerbating the already pressing issue of inefficient solid waste management, such as overflowing landfills. To address this problem, the present invention has delved into the development of biodegradable diagnostic cassettes with superior mechanical properties and faster biodegradation rates. The study provides valuable insights into the optimal combination of additives and their concentrations, which enhance the biodegradability, flexibility, durability, stability, and appearance of these cassettes. By employing such advancements, this invention contributes to the creation of sustainable and environmentally friendly diagnostic equipment for medical purposes, thereby addressing the critical need for more eco-conscious solutions in the healthcare industry.
Keywords:
Biodegradable medical products, Sustainable diagnostic cassettes, Plastic waste reduction, Eco-friendly healthcare solutions and Biodegradation-enhancing additives.
