Health Care

The Australian health care sector is a big consumer of resources and producer of waste that leaves a big footprint on the environment. Some of the environmental challenges for the health care sector include excess water consumption and electricity use and the generation of solid waste and biohazard waste. The negative effect in the environment can be mitigated by adopting environmental sustainability strategies and ensuring compliance with procedures and regulations. This approach will make the health care sector more sustainable and will maximize the social, environmental and financial benefits.
