12:40 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: Waste Management & Sustainable Operations: Building Greener, More Efficient Hospitals & Reducing the Environmental Footprint of Healthcare

As healthcare systems expand, so too does the challenge of managing medical waste, energy consumption, and resource efficiency. Hospitals are under increasing pressure to not only deliver high-quality care but also reduce their environmental footprint and align with national sustainability goals. This panel will bring together operational leaders and sustainability experts to explore practical strategies for reducing waste, improving recycling and circular economy practices, and implementing sustainable operations that drive both cost savings and environmental impact. 

  • Reducing clinical and non-clinical waste through smarter processes and technology 

  • Embedding sustainability into procurement, facilities management, and supply chain practices 

  • Aligning waste management strategies with regulatory requirements and ESG reporting standards 

  • Turning sustainability into operational efficiency: cutting costs while supporting climate resilience in healthcare
