ORcycle
The sustainable operating theatre
About
ORcycle
At ORcycle, we are dedicated to collecting and recycling plastic materials from operating theatres that would otherwise be subjected to high temperature incineration (HTI). Our mission is to reduce environmental impact by diverting this waste, supporting sustainability and creating greener healthcare practices.
Healthcare is the fifth biggest cause of global warming in the world with operating theatres accounting for a third of it. With 1.4 metric tons of circular waste produced per hospital bed, per year we have to to take action now to reduce our plastic waste in the Operating Room.
The OR room produces copious amounts of "recently sterile" plastic that requires little processing. We marry up creators of Operating Room waste with those who wish to recycle it.

At ORcycle we need to upscale. We need to purchase a new plastic extruder, a larger plastic shredder, some extrusion molds, and a sheet press. Are you the person to make a difference so we can convert this plastic previously destined for High Temperature Incineration.
