Hard-to-recycle, single-use supplies, packaging and devices have become a defining feature of the healthcare system in recent decades.

This is starting to change.

Presented in conjunction with Kimball Sustainable Healthcare, this free webinar – the first webinar for 2024 in our Green Thinking Webinar Series – reviewed key elements of an effective implementation strategy and featured case study presentations of several successful programs.
