At our Edinburgh workshop, a visit to Surgeons’ Hall Museums revealed how medical materials evolved, highlighting overlooked histories of disposability and raising urgent questions about plastics in healthcare’s future.

The After the Single Use team created a pop-up exhibition in less than 3 hours to showcase our research. How did we pull it off?

The exhibition explored the rapid research, development, and delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine. For our team, it prompted reflection on vaccine inequity and the environmental impact of pandemic-related waste.
