The packaging could not be either. Sterility has to be assured for the shelf life of the device. Those are typically years. These materials aren't just cheap or convenient. They've been vetted over decades of research and testing.

Now this isn't meant to rain on your parade. Just showing how even the best intentions can fall short. Tossing out solutions in areas you aren't familiar with can just muddy discussions.
