At Medline, we are committed to delivering high-quality, sustainable healthcare solutions that reduce environmental impact without compromising clinical standards. As part of our sustainability strategy, we have introduced Sustainable Hollowware, including Sustainable Bowls and Kidney Dishes—innovative alternatives to traditional plastic-based products.
Sustainable by Design
Medline supplies Sustainable Hollowware made from plant-based composite bagasse, a post agricultural by-product from sugarcane production that is upcycled to create the fibre pulp. These products offer a practical way to minimise plastic waste while maintaining the durability and performance required in healthcare settings. By choosing this Sustainable Hollowware, you can actively reduce plastic pollution and lower CO₂e emissions by approximately 80%¹.
Unlike some conventional plastic products, this environmentally Sustainable Hollowware contains no added BPA, BPA-derived plastics, mercury, phthalates, or PVC—making it a sustainable option for both healthcare professionals and patients.
