That's two of us Kat, at least we tried to stimulate interest
Well I am interested in needles, only not that ones…
I bet the needles are somehow being recycled. Yes, after a quick check, e.g. needles are being sterilised under temperatures of 450 degrees and then will go into grinding process that makes the material useful as base material for re-use.
Most of the other plastics will also be recycled.
Three of us now.
So I'm guessing the plastic part of the syringe will just be burnt away to re-use the metal ? If that is the case wouldn't it be better to be able to remove the needle from the plastic syringe ?
If they are separated before, the plastic and the needle, i don't know but I guess they will be.
In the Netherlands there is an organisation called RedBag solutions, which does this recycling work.
