Discarding, Electronic equipment, Hospital, Socio-environmental
Abstract
This work proposes a project establishing a staged workflow to ensure any electric or electronic equipment used in a hospital environment that is being discarded would be subject to all possible reuse of its equipment and components through to the manufacturing of new equipment. The workflow would apply to all the electronic equipment used in the hospital (i.e., biomedical, electro-mechanical, computer, refrigeration, air conditioning). This appropriate discarding workflow would address socio-environmental as well as economic/financial concerns.
