Eyeing the high potential for improvement, the designer investigates circular principles and the opportunities for optimization of the sorting and recycling process related to the resource-rich materials that are discarded in the departments of surgery at the hospitals of the Central Jutland region. The emphasis is on simplicity and flexibility in order that the sorting solutions can fit smoothly into the clinically tight and changeable framework of the surgery departments.
