SPEAKER QUOTE

"Every day, tones of healthcare waste are produced worldwide, contributing to approximately 4-5% of total gas emissions. Personal protective equipment (PPE) use, such as masks, gows and gloves, most of them designed for single use, as well mass testing and vaccination related procedures contributed largely for this increase."

MESSAGES

In a circular economy, emphasis is on upstream design solutions that extend product lifetime (design for reuse, repair, remanufacturing) and enable high-quality recycling, while regenerating ecosystems.
A circular economy is more than just recycling. Before that, we need to reduce consumption, repair, reuse, refurbish, and remanufacture, to save both environmental impacts and money.
Effect of different sterilizing processes on instruments important consideration (affects costs and carbon footprint).
CSSDs play an important role in patient care, patient safety and infection prevention: Reprocessing of MDs is an indirect patient care that must be provided by skilled personnel. It is extremely important to provide a high quality and reliable process by applying validated and up-to-date procedures.
HTA is a multidimensional methodology that allows a comprehensive and evidence based approach to circular economy in healthcare
