Description
As part of a collaboration between the MELCCFP and the MSSS, a strategic initiative was set up to gain a better understanding of material flows in a hospital facility, in response to specific sustainable management needs. The study focuses on two care units to analyze the flow of materials, particularly plastic products and single-use items, while exploring existing best practices through a literature review.
