Recycling

One in every 100 tonnes of domestic waste generated in the UK comes from the NHS, with the vast majority going to landfill. NHS organisations should aspire to at least match the targets set for the Sustainable Operations on the Government Estate (SOGE) targets in managing the different waste streams – this includes all departments increasing their recycling figures to 40% of their waste arisings by 2010 and to 75% of their waste arisings by 2020.

Reduction

NHS organisations should aspire to at least match the targets set for the Sustainable Operations on the Government Estate (SOGE) targets in managing the different waste streams – this includes reduction in waste arisings by 5% by 2010 and by 25% by 2020, relative to 2004/2005 levels.

Measuring & Monitoring

NHS organisations should monitor and record these via the NHS ERIC data system. Organisations should set a baseline year and a set of Board approved waste reduction trajectories.
