- W65752455 abstract "What is environmentally preferable purchasing? The answer is a simple one—merely considering the environmental impact associated with the products and services you use, then, based on these considerations, making purchasing decisions that are the least damaging to human health and natural resources. “Green purchasing” serves as a foundation for sustainable medicine in your healthcare facility since the choices made will significantly influence the overall environmental impact of your medical practices. Fortunately, implementing environmentally preferable purchasing policies makes good financial sense—it minimizes later costs associated with higher-risk products. For example, purchasing mercury-free thermometers eliminates costs associated with incineration, the only acceptable disposal method for mercury-laden hazardous waste. While the initial financial investment for toxic-free products may be higher, the overall benefits are significant, including reduced “downstream” fees (such as just mentioned), minimized waste and pollution, healthier provider-patient interactions, and a safer healthcare environment for the community. Environmentally preferable purchasing follows a product-stewardship model by considering the entire lifecycle of a product—from its production and use, to its disposal—while accounting for all costs, not just what you pay upfront. Environmentally preferable products/services are non-toxic, energy efficient, safer for people and the environment, and free from harmful fragrances. In addition, they reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimize pollution. Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Ideas" @default.
