Medical Waste and Healthcare Sector Climate Pledge

The Healthcare Sector Climate Pledge is a critical component of healthcare’s climate commitments, as highlighted by the initiative launched by HHS on Earth Day 2022. The pledge calls on hospitals to cut emissions by 50% by 2030 (baseline 2008) and achieve net zero by 2050, with annual progress reports.

Around 100 hospitals have joined the Healthcare Sector Climate Pledge, taking steps like installing solar panels, boosting recycling, and reducing single-use plastics. However, to achieve substantial progress, it is imperative to overcome outdated and unsustainable medical waste practices like incineration.

Clean Waste Systems provides a cleaner, more sustainable solution through ozone sterilization. This advanced technology supports the Healthcare Sector Climate Pledge by eliminating harmful emissions, reducing dependency on disposables, and offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional disposal methods. Hospitals utilizing ozone technology can make significant strides toward their climate goals, aligning with global sustainability efforts.

It’s time for healthcare leaders to prioritize the Healthcare Sector Climate Pledge and drive meaningful change. Watch the video to learn more about the movement toward a cleaner, healthier future!
