Circular Solutions for Medical Waste

Why support this project?

Medical waste mismanagement in low resource areas is a major problem, leading to widespread pollution, disease, and unsafe reuse of syringes. Lacking proper disposal, communities face health crises and environmental devastation.

Our solution sterilises and repurposes medical waste, creating valuable materials and new medical supplies that can be re-sold at a fraction of market prices. It lowers medical costs, prevents disease, generates jobs and conserves the environment for vulnerable communities.

The Solution

A mobile sterilisation system tailored for low resource areas, allowing safe syringe sterilisation and repurposing.

This solution prevents infections and integrates informal waste management into structured employment, creating a circular economy that benefits both refugees and host communities.

We need your help

We are seeking funding to send a team of award-winning engineers and storytellers to Cox’s Bazar Refugee Camp.

Our goal is to assess Adam’s design, document the problem in detail, and engage directly with the communities affected and the existing waste management systems. 

It is only by developing a rigorous understanding of a context that a fitting solution can be refined and implemented.

Your support can help turn this vision into reality. By funding this mission, you will enable us to refine and implement a life-saving solution. Join us in building a better, healthier future.
