Hospitals can adopt several sustainable practices to reduce their environmental impact:
1. Energy Efficiency: Implementing energy-efficient systems, such as LED lighting and high-efficiency HVAC systems, can significantly reduce energy consumption. 2. Waste Management: Proper segregation of medical waste, recycling, and minimizing single-use plastics can help reduce the amount of waste generated. 3. Sustainable Procurement: Choosing suppliers that offer eco-friendly products and services can further reduce the hospital's environmental footprint. 4. Green Building Design: Incorporating sustainable materials and designs in new hospital buildings can create a healthier environment for patients and staff.
