Innovation in environmentally sustainable waste reduction and management service for hospitals
This joint statement of demand has been developed by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW). It is being launched in partnership with North Bristol NHS Trust and with the support of NHS England and NHS Improvement. It describes the current situation and its limitations, why innovation is needed, and the outcomes required of a new solution.
UHBW, in partnership with North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT), plans to launch atender for waste management services towards the end of 2021. Thisprovides an ideal opportunity for the Trusts and their partners to fundamentallyethink the way that ‘waste’ is managed.In order to deliver on our progressivesustainable development strategy and our commitment to environmentalprotection, carbon reduction and the circular economy, we will need to adopt aforward-looking, integrated and environmentally sustainable solution to both the reduction and management of waste.
