What’s the environmental cost of delivering dialysate—and how can we redesign the system?

In this recorded session from the Sustainable Kidney Care Network, two brilliant early-career researchers explore both the visible and hidden environmental impacts of acid concentrate delivery in haemodialysis.

🌱 Rodrigo Martínez Cadenas presents findings from a multi-centre Life Cycle Assessment across 15 Spanish dialysis units, comparing canisters, flexible bags, and centralised tanks.
♻️ Jan Tsai introduces the EcoMix system: a hospital-based circular solution that reduces single-use plastics and rethinks logistics from the ground up.

🎯 Whether you're a nephrologist, sustainability lead, engineer, or healthcare manager—this session offers practical insights, robust data, and forward-thinking innovation.
