    I do wonder how much waste is produced from medical equipment, scientific experiments and safety equipment.

    Personally I feel it’s justified as opposed to like plastic packaging, dumping waste water and that whole thing but yeah would like to see a better breakdown of waste production

      More than anyone wants to admit and it usually gets incinerated for safety reasons, depending on how good your regulations are. Labs have to contract services for this.

    Nothing probably compares to the sheer plastic waste of a large commercial kitchen. Everything comes in plastic from Cisco. And you wrap everything in plastic and just toss it over and over again.
