Our network
Since the ecosystem of sustainable care is relatively new, it is important to get connected with high-impact organisations within the sustainable healthcare sector. We give keynotes, presentations and participate at conferences and symposiums, check out our News&Events.
In addition, we are members of the following networks and collaborate closely with following partners.
Green Deal Sustainable Care
In Flanders, we actively follow and participate in the Green Deal Sustainable Care. We translate the recommendations into a practical framework to be used by hospitals. In particular, we follow the pillars ‘Materials and waste’ and ‘Medicines in water’ and provide support for the implementation of new tools and guidelines. An example is the tool now being developed to estimate the impact of medication use within hospitals on wastewater, both in terms of ecotoxicity and AMR for antibiotics.
Veolia
Veolia is a global leader in environmental services, active in water, waste and energy management. Together with Veolia's waste department, we help hospitals map and optimise their waste streams: improving sorting, reducing residual waste and finding opportunities for recycling and recovery. This way, insights from our sustainability analyses are turned into concrete improvements on the hospital floor.
Omvorm
Omvorm is an Antwerp-based design collective, that supports societal transitions through design. It redesigns products, services and processes to move from linear to circular, from exclusive to inclusive and from destructive to regenerative, with health and wellbeing as one of its focus areas.
