Disposable Does Not Always Equal Recyclable

Welcome to episode 5 of our 12-Part Expert Series On-The-Go series, where we're continuing the conversation with industry expert Karen Goelst, CEO and Founder of KleenEdge! With a 20-year background in architectural specialties and textiles, Karen became passionate about solving the issues surrounding privacy curtains following her 15-year-old son’s hospital stay with MRSA.

In this episode, Karen uncovers the reasons why many hospitals switched to disposable, recyclable curtains, yet they failed to actually recycle any of those curtains. Also, find out what technologies are available to assist healthcare facilities with recycling not only their curtains, but also gowns, masks, and some drapes.
