The dark side of covid test kits and the mountain of PPE we have used
We carried out a little research in the week of the 18th of January. We have been wondering, like many others have questioned. We wanted to know if the main plastic in the lateral flow test kit is recyclable. And we found out that they are not recyclable.
Refill! Reuse!! Recycle!!! Our Solution to the Single-Use Plastic Dilemma
Reusing product containers and reducing the amount that you use has multiple benefits to the earth. Not only does it reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and oceans, but it also prevents pollution as it is reducing the need for new plastic production and the use of new raw materials. Reusing also allows the plastic to be used to its fullest potential, with the longer lifespan it has before it is then recycled.
