Home Infusion: Recycling and Sustainability

Home infusion patients are interested in recycling and sustainability. Infusion packaging and supplies are likely recyclable. The World Health Organization notes that 85% of health care associated waste is non-hazardous and has published a comprehensive guidance document in its 2nd edition. This presentation will explore current practices and present educational resources for infusion companies. We have connected with the Oley Foundation regarding end-consumer educational material on recycling.
