Abstract

Every year, the NHS produces over 590,000t of healthcare waste costing £700m. Reducing its climate impact by 2040 (Net Zero NHS, UK Health and Care Act) requires a substantial shift in practice. In this poster, we propose an improved carbon footprint to support sustainable medical device procurement strategies.
