This includes raising awareness about energy conservation, waste reduction, and the importance of environmentally friendly approaches in their daily work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Efficiency and safety meet responsibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the health care industry is tightly regulated in all aspects, investing in environmentally friendly solutions is not entirely straightforward. At RKC, environmental awareness is considered throughout the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHealthcare relies on complex global supply chains for medications, medical devices, and other resources. Ensuring sustainability throughout these supply chains, encompassing responsible sourcing, ethical production, and waste reduction, can be a challenge,\u201d Disinger points out. \u201cEffective collaboration and transparency among suppliers are crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kiilto x Ryggkirurgisk Centrum RKC\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/df4JX8yNUp8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><strong>See Kiilto Pro Natura products in action.
