A Prescription for Change: Rethinking plastics use in healthcare to reduce waste, greenhouse gas emissions and costs is a forthcoming new report from Eunomia and Systemiq. This first-of-its-kind analysis quantifies the environmental and financial impacts of seven high-volume single-use healthcare plastic categories across Europe and North America.
To mark the launch of this report, Eunomia and Systemiq will be hosting two 60-minute webinars to present the key findings alongside a panel discussion with leaders from across the healthcare value chain. Speakers will explore actionable solutions, from reduction, reuse and recycling to procurement reform and regulatory change, backed by real-world case studies.
