The Importance of Public Space
Waste & Recycling in Healthcare
Facilities


The Facts of the Industry

• A Johns Hopkins University study says
hospitals are the second largest waste
producers after the food industry.

• Hospitals in the US generate upwards
towards 7,000 tons of waste per day.
− 80% or more is non-regulated waste and no
different from that generated by a hotel, up
to 60 percent of which is either recyclable or
compostable.
− Beverage containers (glass, plastic,
aluminum containers) make a combined
rate of about 6-10 percent of healthcare
waste


The Facts of the Industry

• Materials consumption in health care facilities
costs health care consumers $10 billion
annually in waste disposal costs.
− The opportunity for cost reduction through
smart source reduction and waste
management may be as high 40-
70%, representing $4 to $7 billion for the
health care industry.

• Hospitals consume two-and-a-half times more
energy than other commercial
buildings, spending more than $8.7 billion per
year


Beyond the Numbers

• Healthcare facilities are in the business of
making people healthier
− Limiting your environmental impact has a
direct effect on the health of your community

• Attracting high quality staff and patients is
about more than just the quality of care
− Clean grounds and buildings and a
commitment to sustainability are key
influencers in the perception of your facility

• It’s not just about the bottom line
− These issues are of great importance to the
C-suite leaders of your outfits

both creating ambient trash and potential
health & safety issues

litter & reduce animal issues via optimized
on-site capacity & enclosed containers
