Material flow analysis in hospitals

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. This material flow analysis project was followed by the MicroLabs project, co-creation workshops that bring together various stakeholders in the healthcare network to collectively explore sustainable solutions for the consumption, processing, and disposal of materials in hospitals.
