Stobhill and the New Victoria Success

Stobhill Hospital and the New Victoria Hospital are our first sites to adopt waste segregation in clinical and non-clinical areas and our plan is to role this out on a site by site basis across the NHSGGC.

Segregation in the six theatres at Stobhill showed a 70% reduction in orange bag waste with a saving of 42 tonnes of waste volume, £17,000 cost avoidance and C02 saving of 17 tonnes.

Neptune 3 is a closed-circuit waste management system that collects, transports, and disposes of surgical waste fluid helping protect staff from exposure whilst increasing efficiencies in the operating room.

There is a potentially significant waste and cost saving from eliminating Vac Sacs from the waste stream which weigh around 2kg each that are treated through the clinical waste stream.

DMR is a broad term used to describe different types of clean recycling waste that can be reused, reformed or broken down into their core materials. They include: dry paper waste, office paper, newspaper and magazines, cereal boxes, card and cardboard boxes, clean, empty cans and tins, clean and dry drinking bottles, milk bottles, and others.  

The DMR system utilises existing metal general waste (black lid) bins and infrastructure. The use of existing bins negates the need for purchase of equipment, identification of additional space and will satisfy IPC protocols.

A new implementation plan was developed for the new financial year in order to implement, expand or refine existing systems on all acute sites across NHSGGC.

The new target for recyclates for FY 23 – 24 is 35% (currently 16%).
