Healthcare and life‑sciences organizations are adopting ESG‑driven plastics‑disposition programs to meet regulatory expectations, reduce environmental impact, and demonstrate responsible business practices. Iron Mountain’s secure‑plastics‑disposition software enables these organizations to track, collect, and securely shred plastics such as pill bottles and packaging, then aggregate them into a circular‑recycling stream while preserving chain‑of‑custody for data‑bearing materials. This helps institutions avoid landfill and incineration, lower disposal costs, strengthen compliance, and turn plastic waste into a measurable ESG success story without compromising patient‑data security or operational continuity.
