- W4380686012 abstract "Intravitreal injections are the most common ophthalmic procedure worldwide and are also a prime opportunity for waste reduction. This study analyzes the feasibility, environmental impact, and cost of reusing shipping materials for intravitreal injection medications, as compared to wasting coolers and cold packs after single-use.In this prospective pilot study, shipping materials (cardboard boxes, polystyrene foam coolers, and cold packs) from repackaged bevacizumab delivered to our clinic (500 doses per week) were saved and reused over a 10-week study period. The shipping supplies were photographed and inspected for defects at point of care (Twin Cities, MN), and returned via standard ground shipping to the outsourcing facility (Tonawanda, NY).Polystyrene foam coolers (n = 3) survived 10 roundtrips between the outsourcing facility and retina clinic (600 mi each way), although wear-and-tear was visible in the form of marks and dents. Cold packs (n = 35) were less durable, lasting 3.1 ± 2.0 roundtrips. Total carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions were reduced 43%, by reusing shipping materials (12.88 kgCO2e per 1000 bevacizumab doses), as compared to the standard practice of disposing containers after single-use (22.70 kgCO2e per 1000 bevacizumab doses), and landfill volume was reduced by 89%. Cost savings from reusing containers offset expenses incurred with return shipping and extra handling in the reuse cohort (net savings: $0.52 per 1000 bevacizumab doses).Reusing shipping supplies can be cost neutral, with less CO2e emissions and reduced landfill. Robust environmental benefit is possible if retina clinics partner with manufacturers to reuse shipping containers." @default.
