First ESCH-R Podcast live!
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, hosts Nicole Hunfeld (ESCH-R coordinator) and Dimitry Vleugel welcome a guest from the ESCH-R network. Expect sustainability experts from leading companies like Philips and Medtronics, or medical professionals, such as a surgeon aiming to make robot-assisted surgeries more sustainable.
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? We explore this in the series, starting with a conversation with Prof. Diederik Gommers from Erasmus MC on circularity in intensive care.
Each episode will be in Dutch with some interviews in English.
Tune in and discover how we can work together towards a circular future for healthcare!
