Abstract

The increasing use of biodegradable medical supplies presents a promising solution for reducing hospital waste and enhancing sustainability in healthcare. This paper examines the potential environmental benefits of adopting biodegradable alternatives to traditional medical supplies, such as gloves, syringes, and packaging. We analyze case studies of healthcare facilities that have successfully implemented biodegradable products, highlighting the challenges and advantages. The study provides recommendations for broader adoption and policy support to drive the transition toward sustainable healthcare practices.
