A well-defined training program will help ensure that important safety protocols are maintained in a healthcare facility's plastics recycling program, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Training programs should be tailored to reflect a facility’s specific personnel, departments and plastic use. Beyond training, visual indicators such as posters and colored bags, containers or bins can help simplify the collecting and sorting process.
After a recycling program has been running awhile, it’s a good idea to revisit the numbers and replace initial assumptions with actual data to determine the program's financial impact
Another way to improve program effectiveness is to share results and successes internally, with partners and with other key stakeholders, ensuring continued buy-in and excitement, the article said.
Consider incentive options for increasing plastic quantities and decreasing contamination levels with your recycling partner as well.
