Plastics, due to their durability and versatility, are a material of choice for various healthcare products, such as pharmaceutical bottles and vials, drug delivery devices, monitoring devices, surgical instruments, or labware. And now these products can be made more sustainable by switching to polymers based on renewable materials instead of fossil fuel-based polymers.     For these reasons, medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging products are typically made with standard polymers (e.g., polyolefins, polyesters) and engineering plastics (e.g., polycarbonate, ABS, POM, PBT).
