A Strategy for a Greener Future in Healthcare

Are you looking for strategies to reduce your organisation’s carbon footprint?

Plastic reduction is an effective strategy – it involves choosing reusable products over single-use disposables whenever possible, moving waste up the waste hierarchy by focusing on prevention, reduction, and reusability.

But how can you implement a successful plastic reduction strategy?

Here are some tips:

  • Conduct a thorough audit of all the plastic waste you’re currently generating.
  • Follow sustainable procurement frameworks when purchasing products or services.
  • Work towards recycling, reducing packaging, and avoiding single-use plastics.

By embracing plastic reduction practices, you’ll contribute to a healthier, greener future for us all. So why wait?

  • MOVE WASTE UP THE HIERARCHY

    Reduce your reliance on single-use plastics and eliminate tonnes of plastic from the waste stream – moving waste into more favourable positions in the waste hierarchy.

  • BESPOKE SOLUTIONS

    A full site-wide audit is essential for understanding the specific needs and requirements of your facility and teams before rolling out any solutions.

  • MINIMISE SINGLE-USE PLASTIC

    Reusable solutions enable you to eliminate tonnes of plastic from manufacturing and incineration, as well as reduce carbon footprint throughout the product life cycle.

Reusable Sharps Containers – An Example of Plastic Reduction

It’s no big secret that for decades, reusable sharps containers have been a quick-win solution to reduce single-use plastics in the healthcare environment, and as a result, significantly reduce the associated greenhouse gas emissions.

Another key advantage of reusable containers is that they reduce CO2 throughout their entire life cycle.

The “Impact on Life-Cycle Carbon Footprint” study demonstrated that annually for every 100 beds you could:

  • Reduce your carbon footprint by 11.2 tonnes of CO₂e.
  • Eliminate incineration of 3.1 tonnes of plastic.
  • Eliminate the use of 0.5 tonnes of cardboard.
  • Eliminate the manufacture 5,837 single-use sharps containers.
  • Save 153 hours in exchanging full sharps containers.
