Training | Reprocessing of single-use medical devices

On 28 November 2023, Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) Europe organised a one-day event focusing on Circular Healthcare in Brussels, Belgium. This training session aimed to give healthcare professionals from all over Europe the tools to transform how we approach healthcare practices and implement principles from the waste hierarchy in the sector. This training, now available online for everybody, is tailored for healthcare management, procurement, sustainability, waste management professionals, and healthcare practitioners who want to learn more about Circular Healthcare. It's a must-see for those passionate about reducing waste in the healthcare sector. The traditional linear consumption model in healthcare poses significant threats to our health and the environment. Approximately 5.2% of global carbon emissions can be attributed to the healthcare sector, a large part of these emissions stemming from the supply chain – the production, transport, use, and disposal of goods and services. Single-use products are a major contributor to this issue, fostering a disposable culture that amplifies waste, emissions, and human health risks. As plastic use surges, so does the prevalence of hazardous chemicals like endocrine disruptors, which pose heightened risks to vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, and chronically ill patients. Watch this training to: Learn how to reduce plastic and its impacts on health and the environment. Discover how to prevent waste and introduce reusable alternatives in healthcare settings. Explore how to eliminate harmful chemicals from healthcare products and processes. Hear about sustainable procurement and circular business models for healthcare.
