Practical sustainability for clinical laboratories

Clinical laboratories are essential to healthcare delivery, but they can also be resource-intensive, consuming significant amounts of energy, water, and materials. With increasing regulatory pressure and environmental responsibility now high on the agenda, laboratories need practical strategies to operate more sustainably without compromising diagnostic quality.
This white paper explores how clinical labs can take effective steps to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining performance and compliance.
What you’ll learn inside:
- The environmental footprint of clinical laboratories: energy, water, waste, and CO₂ emissions
- Regulatory drivers and guidelines supporting sustainable lab operations
- Practical strategies to reduce impact: energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, sustainable procurement
- Real-world examples of successful sustainability initiatives
- How integrated water purification systems like Medica 150 and Medica Biox can contribute to energy savings and improved sustainability in diagnostic workflows
