Moreover, as most components are made from oil-based virgin raw materials, they are advancing the depletion of non-renewable sources. It has been estimated that these represent approximately 25%-30% of landfilled medical solid waste.[1] 2] As these products are rarely recyclable at their end of life, they contribute to plastic pollution.
