Diagnostic Discard: The Making of a Plastic Pandemic" examines the environmental consequences of single-use medical devices, drawing on fieldwork in Sierra Leone and the Covid-19 testing experience. The exhibition reveals how sustainability is often excluded from diagnostic innovation, while showcasing both the waste created and emerging solutions, urging microfluidic designers and manufacturers to rethink the full lifecycle of diagnostic technologies.
