Recycling IV Bags: A Circular Economy Success in Colombia

For more than a decade, Baxter has successfully led programs to recycle polyvinyl chloride (PVC) IV bags in various countries around the world – an important contributor to our corporate responsibility efforts, specifically as part of how we reduce the environmental impact of our products. Not all medical products can be recycled, and therefore a dedicated and specialized recycling effort is required – and our partners must be trained to ensure appropriate products are included in the recycling program. Baxter is proud to help pave the way in establishing enabling partnerships and processes.

In Colombia, for example, nearly 90 public hospitals and private clinics are participating in "Vida en Movimiento" (Life in Motion), a program led by Baxter and Orbia, one of the world’s leading PVC suppliers. Here are five things you need to know:

Shoes are propped up against an IV Solution Bag1. Waste reduction: Between the program's launch in 2021 and June 2025, nearly 300 tons of PVC IV bags have been recycled and diverted from landfill – enough to fill eight tractor-trailer semi-trucks.

2. Greenhouse gas avoidance: To date, we estimate that this program may have avoided almost 600 tons of CO₂ equivalent (CO2e) emissions1  – which could be comparable to the amount of CO2 absorbed by 27,000 mature trees over one year2.

3. Partnerships: Developing and implementing any innovative program requires the right stakeholders. In Colombia, Baxter is proud to work with a PVC supplier (Orbia's Vestolit business), waste management groups, a technical support partner (Waste2Worth) and participating customers to bring to market this one-of-a-kind opportunity in support of a shared focus on sustainability in the health care sector. 

4.  Expansion: TherePeople in business and hospital staff attire hold IV bags in a hospital are big plans for Vida en Movimiento, with a goal to reach 120 healthcare providers in Colombia by the end of 2025 – in addition to bringing the program to other countries in the region. For example, in June 2025, Baxter announced the program's launch in Mexico – establishing the first circular economy project for the country's healthcare sector. What’s more, the program is also developing its first case study, compiling results, best practices, and lessons learned with interest from local universities to study the case within master's degree programs, with the goal of inspiring and supporting new circular economy models in the healthcare sector.

5.  Circular economy: In recycling materials previously discarded, they can continue their lifecycle in new products. Through Vida en Movimiento, the PVC collected from clinics and hospitals is being transformed into soles for shoes that are worn as part of medical staff uniforms, among other useful items.
