What is the most significant contributor to healthcare carbon emissions?
Answer…Pharmaceuticals 💉
Examining your facility's pharmaceutical procurement and where you can make impactful changes is essential.
But do you know which pharmaceuticals your facility should focus on first?
Waste auditing can give you an insightful look at this. For example, we often recommend Propofol, Schedule 8s, Antibiotics, and Aramine for a facility with theatres.
But do these pharmaceuticals actually have a large carbon footprint?
Surprisingly no!
Each pharmaceutical has a tiny carbon footprint. But when you add up how much pharmaceutical is not used by each patient, multiplied by each theatre case, each day, each week and each year, the amount is staggering!
Theatres are a great place to evaluate your facility's healthcare sustainability efforts.
Bridges Sustainability assists your facility's waste auditing and healthcare sustainability needs and provides a comprehensive report.
