The real problem is all that waste paper and plastic produced from gloves, masks, paper towel and tissues.
Hopefully the glass and plastics from syringes are appropriately disposed of with the sharps and other biowastes.
Interesting that the federal government has pulled out all stops to get our own recycling plants running so as no longer to have to rely on exporting Overseas.
