KitNewCare project presentation video launched
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the KitNewCare project presentation video. This video provides an overview of the project, outlining its key aims, innovations, and the impact it seeks to make on kidney care and sustainability.
KitNewCare, funded by the European Union, is focused on transforming kidney care through the integration of sustainable practices and new technologies. The video highlights how the project plans to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare while maintaining high standards of patient care.
Key topics covered in the video include:
- Project vision: an introduction to KitNewCare’s goal of advancing sustainable kidney care.
- Innovations: insights into the new technologies being trialled, such as energy-saving methods, water treatment improvements, and waste reduction in dialysis.
- Sustainability focus: a look at how KitNewCare is working to lower carbon emissions, cut waste, and boost the efficiency of kidney care.
- Training for professionals: the video also covers how KitNewCare is supporting healthcare staff with new skills and knowledge to adopt greener practices.
Watch the video and share it with your networks. Together, we can help build a more sustainable future for kidney care.

Scientific publications
Modality matters less than you think. What happens to the plastic matters more.
If a dialysis service wanted to reduce its environmental impact by choosing between haemodialysis and online haemodiafiltration, a KitNewCare study in Modena has an unhelpful answer: it barely matters. The more useful finding sits elsewhere in the same numbers.

Small actions, measured properly: what really moves water, energy and waste in a dialysis unit
Sustainability in dialysis has no shortage of good ideas. What it has lacked is a reliable way of telling the significant ones from the merely virtuous. Four KitNewCare-linked publications now put numbers on that question, and some of the answers are counter-intuitive.
