What swap could you make to reduce the amount of plastic you use?
Ambulatory Wound Care have swapped Irripod sachets (sterile solution) for tap water when cleaning wounds for patients in clinics.
This leading project is reducing plastic waste and saving £5,656 per year.
NHS England estimate the NHS uses over 133,000 tonnes of plastic every year!
Much of this is medical waste and single use. We continue to seek opportunities to reduce waste where it is clinically safe to do so.
