THE DECARBONIZATION
OF HEALTHCARE
Healthcare for a Healthier planet and Healthier people.
This is Synoro Med.
29 lbs of waste is produced per patient bed per day in healthcare facilities.
If healthcare were a country it would be the 5th largest emitter of greenhouse gasses globally.
North American Healthcare generates over 6 million tons of waste every year.

What does this mean for
healthcare?
The alarming truth is that healthcare and climate change are locked in a negative reinforcing circle that poses a serious threat to human well-being due to rising prevalence of different diseases and extreme weather events resulting in injuries. As the impacts of climate change intensify, we find ourselves rapidly running out of time to control the rise in temperatures by curbing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
It's crucial for every industry, including healthcare, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we are to truly combat climate change. Globally, health systems are recognizing this problem and actively seeking solutions to decarbonize.
Solving the Problem
Synoro Med is at the forefront of this movement, offering a solution by redesigning single-use medical devices into reusable ones, along with a process that cleans and sterilizes to ensure patient safety, while reducing the waste and the emissions of the healthcare industry.
This not only benefits the environment but also has a direct positive impact on the health of individuals. By minimizing waste and pollution, we can create a healthier sustainable future for everyone.
