New Nordic Sustainability Criteria Poised to Expand in Europe

Released in March 2022, the Common Nordic Criteria for more Sustainable Packaging in Healthcare were developed by stakeholders with the aim of reducing material waste, increasing recycling, and increasing the usage of recycled or renewable materials.

The newly released Common Nordic Criteria for more Sustainable Packaging in Healthcare were developed as a spin-off from previous efforts at Aarhus University Hospital (AUH) to improve hospital recycling rates in a meaningful and scalable way. (View the criteria here.)

The new Nordic Criteria were presented by Susanne Backer, senior consultant, circular economy, procurement and clinical engineering, Central Denmark region, at LyondellBasell’s Advancing Quality Healthcare Event, which took place 6/14-15 in Cologne (Advancing Quality Healthcare | LyondellBasell).
