Products and Services
The current level of consumption of materials in the healthcare sector is not sustainable. It is the root cause of the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
The projects in this theme explore ways to reduce product and service consumables and alter systems by adopting the circular economy principles of redesign, reduce, repair, recycle and recover. Doing more with less.
Our co-design approach is auditing current approaches and diagnose issues to identify new opportunities to reduce waste and improve practices in collaboration with clinicians, nurses, support workers, administrators, and other healthcare related professionals.
