creating circular hospitals together

ESCH-R

Podcast


Welcome to the podcast of the ESCH-R research project, the podcast about circularity in hospitals! Together with ESCH-R partners from healthcare and industry, we discuss the concrete steps the healthcare sector can take toward a circular future.

In each episode, hosted by Nicole Hunfeld (ESCH-R Principal Investigator) and Dimitry Vleugel, we bring together sustainability and circularity experts from industry leaders such as Philips, alongside medical professionals driving change in healthcare.

With contributions from partners across the entire circular value chain, from plastic manufacturers to hospitals and waste processors, the podcast provides inspiring insights for staff, healthcare professionals, and a broader audience interested in circularity. The goal? Not just to discuss circularity in healthcare, but to make it tangible.

With the healthcare sector responsible for 8% of CO2 emissions and a massive waste output of 328 million kilos per year, sustainability is essential. What does circularity in healthcare really mean? 

Each episode will be in Dutch with some interviews in English.
