Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) Europe is excited to announce our one-day event focusing on Circular Healthcare in Brussels, Belgium, open to any healthcare professionals who want to learn more about Circular Healthcare. We invite you to join us for this training session aimed at transforming how we approach healthcare practices and implementing principles from the waste hierarchy in the sector.
This event 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-attend for those passionate about reducing waste in the healthcare sector.
Why is Circular Healthcare important?
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.
