But how green is it actually? Calculating the environmental footprint of Kidney care environmental optimisations within haemodialysis
A new open-access study from the KitNewCare consortium asks a simple question with complex implications for hospitals across Europe: how green is kidney care, really? Published in the Clinical Kidney Journal by Oxford University Press, “But how green is it actually? Calculating the environmental footprint of kidney care environmental optimisations within haemodialysis” quantifies the carbon and water impacts of common dialysis practices and a set of practical changes designed to reduce them.
Consensus Report for 4-Factor LCA Ready for Implementation in Dashboard
KitNewCare’s Milestone 12, 4-factor LCA ready for implementation in dashboard takes the form of a consensus report on the KitNewCare.eu website. It summarises the results of four workshops and a follow-up activity held by the Work Package 5 team.
Innovation Matrix for Technological Advancements
The Innovation Matrix in Work Package 4 (WP4) of the KitNewCare project serves as a structured inventory of technological solutions aimed at making kidney care more sustainable. This Innovation Matrix provides some suggestions for concrete technical solutions that lower energy consumption, water usage, and waste production, directly reducing the carbon footprint of kidney care. We realise that this document does not cover the whole area. Therefore, it should be considered as “dynamic”. It may be updated and broadened when considered appropriate.
Consensus on 4-factor LCA impact factor input variables and weights – Milestone 5
Developed through stakeholder engagement and workshops, the report prioritises impact categories, identifies key challenges, and outlines methodologies to integrate these factors into decision-making tools for healthcare providers. This milestone serves as a foundation for developing the project’s benchmarking tools, which will guide future innovations in sustainable healthcare.
