waste, from expendable veils and other PPE to expanded utilization of acrylic screens, along with other single-utilize plastic things. For the present, the innovation for reusing acrylic screens is costly and may create unsafe results and the PPE utilized in clinical offices is generally non-recyclable. 2020 has in this way implied a difficulty in the battle against plastic contamination, with negative ramifications for untamed life.
