SustainMed 2.0 hospital sustainability project
Overview
The SustainMed 2.0 project, supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy Baden-Württemberg, is working to implement sustainable solutions and reduce greenhouse gas emissions within German hospitals.
Initial efforts focused on using digital tools to identify best practices and facilitate exchange between clinics, businesses, and policymakers. Discussions highlighted the strategic role of procurement and logistics in managing supply chains to ensure product quality while reducing resource consumption.
As the project progressed, focus expanded to include greenhouse gas accounting and the circular economy. Experts noted the significant environmental footprint of the healthcare sector, stating that an average German clinic produces approximately eight tons of waste daily and is responsible for about five percent of national greenhouse gas emissions.
