Why is Waste Management important?
The healthcare sector generates millions of tonnes of waste worldwide each year, and waste negatively impacts our environment, health, and well-being in many ways. Improper waste management can have a detrimental impact on climate change, cause air pollution, or even contaminate water and soil.
As part of our ambition to lead change in the healthcare industry, we aim to reduce our waste footprint and minimise our consumption of raw material.
