We know that many of you are keen to both reduce our waste, and are conscious of the importance of disposing it in a way which reduces our impact on the environment.
In this Webinar we find out more about the waste that NHS Lothian produces and why our first step is to reduce our Orange Stream Clinical Waste.
Last year, NHS Lothian produced just over 2000 tonnes of orange stream clinical waste across our acute and community sites. Orange stream waste has an expensive and carbon intensive treatment. It has been estimated that over two thirds of this waste is incorrectly segregated. Poor segregation introduces more carbon into the environment.
