Dialysis staff of any centre

Dialysis industries

Dialysis provider chains

Create awareness in the staff

Innovate and develop materials and equipment with lower environmental impact

Deliver data on relevant KPIs in clinical practice

Implement programme for monitoring and reporting on relevant variables such as waste production, water and energy consumption

Accept co-responsibility on the fate of equipment and materials once they have left the factories

Analyse practice pattern differences, identify country, region, centre and product differences, and define ‘best practices’

Define activities to reduce environmental impact. Express expectations to supplier industries (to help) to reduce, reuse, recycle and refuse

Develop programmes to reduce, reuse and recycle materials. Even better is to refuse (i.e. to eliminate the necessity of use)

Share experience with programmes to lower environmental impact of dialysis with others

Consider environmental burden of care when choosing new equipment and materials

Develop learning programmes (for instance together with ERA-EDTA) for customers on how to reduce environmental impact
