This study describes a recycling initiative in Leeds that addresses the environmental impact of haemodialysis. Acid concentrate canisters, usually discarded as clinical waste, were instead safely recycled, reducing both carbon footprint and disposal costs.
The project highlights collaboration between renal services, waste contractors, and sustainability teams, demonstrating how small operational changes can deliver measurable environmental and financial benefits.
It serves as a model for other dialysis units seeking practical, scalable approaches to reduce unnecessary carbon emissions in healthcare while maintaining safe patient care.
