Hospitals and health care facilities generate a staggering amount of waste each year.
At Kaiser Permanente, we are ensuring safe and environmentally sound treatment of our hazardous and medical waste streams while working to reduce the overall amount of waste we generate through reuse, recycling, or composting. We favor the procurement of recyclable products and encourage the market to create new recycling opportunities.
By 2025, we will recycle, reuse, or compost 100% of our nonhazardous and nonmedical waste.
