CivTech 10 - How can technology increase circularity in NHS Scotland supply chain?

Working towards circular supply chains is the single most effective way of reducing carbon emissions and the NHS Scotland Carbon Footprint. By working with their supply chain partners, NHS Scotland can better manage the almost 4 Billion (GBP) worth of products and services procured annually. By focusing on changing business models to reduce single use items, increase re-use and remanufacture through product substitution, utilise access (rather than ownership) models and support extended producer responsibility and return systems, NHS Scotland can work to keep products part of the active economy for longer.
