Beyond Clean Canada: Reduce, Reuse, & Reprocess

Sterile wrap is designed for one-time use—but what happens after it leaves the OR? In this episode of Beyond Clean Canada, we’re joined by Andy Straisfeld, sustainability advocate and President and CEO of MEA Health, to talk about the future of recycling in healthcare. From turning MDR and OR waste into park benches, plastic lumber, and even tiny homes, Andy shares how a single idea turned into a coast-to-coast initiative changing how we think about hospital waste. He also breaks down how MEA is protecting healthcare workers, building partnerships across Canada, and pushing for greener, smarter alternatives to landfills. Ready to turn hospital waste into something that matters? This one’s for the environment, tune in #CleanFreaks!
