In this insightful episode of the EADV Podcast, Prof. David de Berker is joined by Dr. Eugene Tan, an academic dermatologist and Mohs micrographic surgeon based in New Zealand, to discuss the environmental and clinical impact of plastics in dermatology. Their discussion, inspired by Dr. Tan’s open-access article “Plastics in Dermatology: A Review and Solutions”, recently published in the JEADV, explores the science behind microplastics and nanoplastics, the life cycle of plastic products in medicine, and practical ways dermatologists and patients can reduce their plastic footprint. Dr. Tan explains how limited but consistent scientific findings raise significant concerns about plastics in skincare, and why sustainability in dermatology requires both individual and systemic action. From the power of consumer choice to international regulation and biodegradable alternatives, this episode offers a broad yet actionable perspective on an urgent issue. Tune in to learn what steps you and your patients can take today to create a more sustainable dermatology practice.
