B.braun Dialysis
Dialysis is a life-preserving therapy – but it comes with environmental challenges 💧⚡
Several hundred liters of water are consumed during each dialysis treatment, plus energy for logistics, the equipment and for the building.
The idea of Green Dialysis is to decrease the environmental burden of dialysis. For us, this means for example reducing the consumption of water and energy, the output of waste or CO₂ emissions.
♻️ These are some key elements of Green Dialysis for us:
🧪 Concentrate mixing devices: Utilizing dry powder acid concentrate on-site instead of liquid acid in plastic canisters can help to reduce transport emissions and plastic waste.
🩺 Set ups and setting of medical devices: For instance, using the standby mode of dialysis machines can help to reduce the consumption of energy, water, and concentrate.
💧 Efficient water treatment systems: Featuring frequency-controlled pumps, our latest reverse osmosis system helps to use less resources such as water and electricity.
🏢 Building: Modern construction and smart building technology can help reduce energy consumption, for instance on heating.
🧠 Staff awareness and training: Understanding the environmental impact of dialysis is key to identify and implement opportunities for improvement.
