A Strategy for a Greener Future in Healthcare

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

Sustainable procurement is an effective strategy – it involves selecting products and services with proven environmental and social value that promote the principles of the circular economy and waste hierarchy.

But how can you implement sustainable procurement strategies?

Here are some tips:

  • Engage in trial schemes to test the efficacy of a product or service.
  • Work with suppliers to prevent waste and minimise packaging.
  • Verify the environmental claims of manufacturers and suppliers.

By putting these practices into action, you have the power to drive real change and contribute to a more environmentally-friendly healthcare system. So why wait?

Reusable Sharps Containers – An Example of Sustainable Procurement

Let’s use reusable sharps containers as an example as they appeal to the first two of the five ‘Rs’ of sustainable procurement:

  • Reduce waste – one reusable sharps container eliminates 788 disposables from manufacture and incineration.
  • Reuse – Just like it says on the tin (or plastic), they’re reusable.

Speaking of plastic, they reduce your reliance on single-use plastic and as a result, significantly reduce your CO2 emissions across the entire product 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.
