Recycling of plastic hospital wastes via biochemical process
To study the possibility of adapting the process used already since 2021 by a french company for recycling plastics with a biochemical process. It is a soft biochemical process that does not require high temperature, combustion, or any classical "dirty" chemistry process. They already produce some reactors for the industry and these could be adapted for use in MSF waste areas for the big MSF hospitals.

Do you have experience with this process in particular?
Other processes might be of interest: plastic conversion to liquid fioul, pyrolisis, etc.
Safety needs to be considered as well (inherent to the process + contamination of plastic) and adaptation to complicated contexts
