Every time you do a lateral flow coronavirus test, you throw away around 10g of plastic. If every adult and secondary school student in the UK did the recommended two tests a week, it would produce more than 1,000 tonnes of rubbish every seven days. In less than a month this would fill an Olympic-size swimming pool.

​

When people take a test in a health center, all the materials are protected as dangerous infectious biological waste that, although they are materials that can be recycled, do not undergo the processes that they should like any other type of garbage.

​

Any medical material that comes into contact with any infectious biological entity from any medical procedure, it must be incinerated to avoid any spread of disease, however, in all that logistics process such as storage and transportation of waste, they use space, personnel , money or even there is a risk of accidents or minor spreads.

​

What would happen if we generate a product that eliminates all those processing schemes and also helps to not burn waste?
