Recoverables in the Hospital

The key focus of waste management in hospital spaces has traditionally been on Clinical Waste, which is not surprising given the associated dangers and disproportionately high costs of disposing of this waste safely. However, Australian studies have shown that up to 60 percent of clinical waste consists of general waste or recyclables. Complementing existing Clinical Waste options with best-practice systems to efficiently manage other waste streams such as Recyclables, Organics and Soft Plastics, can deliver better environmental benefits and reduce overall waste management costs.
