How Do Biodegradable Plastics Benefit Nursing Practices?
Biodegradable plastics offer several benefits in nursing practices:
Environmental Impact: By breaking down more quickly than traditional plastics, biodegradable options can reduce the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. Health and Safety: Reducing plastic waste can lower the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals released during the degradation of traditional plastics. Cost-Effectiveness: While biodegradable plastics may have a higher initial cost, the long-term environmental benefits and potential for reduced waste management costs can make them a cost-effective option.
