Net Zero | For Infection Control

Sustainability Designed For Infection Control

The NHS goal of achieving Net Zero has put added pressure on decision-makers to choose sustainable solutions.

Infection Prevention and Control specialists like yourself are continually working hard to hold hospital hygiene to the highest of standards. From environment disinfection, to promoting hand hygiene, and encouraging the use of PPE.

Finding a sustainable solution that also prioritises safety and works alongside existing strategies can prove difficult.

Especially when sustainable solutions are not always compatible with infection control principles.

So what should you be looking for from an environmentally-friendly solution?

  • Evidence of compatibility with hospital hygiene standards.
  • Measurable improvements in staff and patient safety.
  • Streamlined workflows with minimal staff behavioural change.

A true solution should fit seamlessly into your existing workflows and support your strategies, not hinder them.

If you’re looking for a safe route to Net Zero that prioritises hospital hygiene and infection prevention and control principles, get in touch.

  • REDUCED WASTE HANDLING

    Minimise cross-contamination risks whilst simultaneously reducing your reliance on single-use plastics by utilising reusable containment systems that offer touchless disposal.

  • POINT-OF-USE SEGREGATION

    Improve segregation efficiency and reduce cross-contamination risks through point-of-use waste disposal solutions – achieving safer sustainability outcomes with minimal staff behaviour change.

  • ECO-FRIENDLY SANITISATION

    All reusables need to meet stringent quality control parameters to ensure complete microbiological sanitisation – without the use of environmentally harmful chemicals.
