Innovations towards achieving environmentally sustainable operating theatres: A systematic review

Helen Perry et al.

Summary: This systematic review aims to summarize the research on the sustainability of the perioperative environment and the impact of interventions. Simple yet effective interventions have been identified across various themes that can improve the environmental sustainability of surgical operating theatres. Combining these interventions is likely to result in a significant improvement in the environmental impact of surgery.

Novel strategy in biohydrogen energy production from COVID-19 plastic waste: A critical review

Selvakumar Dharmaraj et al.

Summary: The usage of plastics, particularly personal protective equipment, medical devices, and common packages, has significantly increased during the pandemic, leading to major environmental pollution. The non-degradable COVID-19 plastic wastes (CPW) pose a threat to the environment and human health. Thermochemical processes such as pyrolysis and gasification can efficiently manage and convert these plastic wastes into energy-yielding products, which can help offset the depletion of fossil fuels in the future. Advanced technologies like co-gasification and two-stage gasification have also been reviewed.

Environmental considerations in the selection of medical staplers: A comparative life cycle assessment

Julissa Freund et al.

Summary: The healthcare industry is estimated to contribute significantly to carbon dioxide emissions globally. However, research on increasing sustainability in this industry is only allocated a small portion of the budget. The use of disposable medical supplies has negative environmental impacts, and the durability of these supplies should be considered. A life cycle assessment revealed that higher-cost disposable staplers have greater environmental impacts compared to cheaper options.

Design Opportunities to Reduce Waste in Operating Rooms

Charlotte Harding et al.

Summary: Hospitals generate a large amount of waste while taking care of the population's health, with the operating room responsible for a disproportionately large amount of it. Research conducted in a large hospital found that washable towels and operation instruments are reused, while paper, cardboard, and specific fabrics are recycled. Design opportunities include optimizing recycling and increasing the use of reusables, such as exploring the possibilities of reusing textiles, consumables, and packaging.

Developments in the life cycle assessment of chemical recycling of plastic waste e A review

Matthew G. Davidson et al.

Summary: Research on chemical recycling of plastics has increased in the past decade, with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology playing an important role in understanding the environmental impacts. Different approaches to modeling chemical recycling processes were identified, highlighting the need for further research on other methods like gasification and depolymerization to improve data availability and LCA modeling comparisons.

Evaluating the Waste Prevention Potential of a Multi- versus Single-Use Surgical Stapler

Markus Meissner et al.

Summary: This study examines the potential of reducing surgical waste and total material requirement by switching from single-use systems to multi-use systems, using surgical stapling systems as functional units for evaluation. The results show that switching to multi-use systems led to significant reductions in waste and material requirements for various surgical procedures, as long as the reusable parts were used more than four times.
