A Strategy for a Greener Future in Healthcare
Are you looking for strategies to reduce your organisation’s carbon footprint?
Data accuracy is essential for an effective strategy – it involves implementing solutions that give you access to your data in as little or as much depth as you need so you can optimise your waste management processes.
But how can you use accurate data to optimise your waste management?
Here are some tips:
- Identify any issues and locate areas of need for additional training.
- Provide direct reports on non-conforming waste and incorrect segregation.
- Keep track of performance against objectives and targets.
By having full access to accurate waste data when you need it, you’ll be able to drive positive change and contribute to a more environmentally-friendly healthcare system. So why wait?

Liverpool Women’s Hospital were able to keep track of some of the impressive results they were seeing within 6 months of implementing Sharpsmart solutions.
They were quickly diverting 40% of their waste from clinical to offensive waste streams which was delivering a 45% cost saving.
Keeping track of their waste data also enabled the Trust to see that annually they were:
- Reducing 56 tonnes of CO₂e.
- Diverting 10 tonnes of plastic from incineration.
- Saving 10% on sharps management costs.
