Carbon Emissions Calculator for Reprocessed Single-Use Medical Devices

Hospitals and health systems emit an astounding amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Based on studies in the U.K. and U.S., over 60% of CO2 emissions from hospitals come from the supply chain. One of the main culprits: single-use medical devices. But many of them are regulated for reprocessing and safe reuse. This calculator, powered by actual emissions data from 8 peer reviewed life cycle assessments, helps hospitals to calculate the emissions reductions from the use of regulated, commercially reprocessed SUDs.
