Medical Waste Audit & Carbon Impact Calculator
Empowering healthcare facilities to monitor, optimize, and reduce medical waste — with real-time carbon, cost, and category analytics
Medical waste management is not only a financial burden —
It also carries a hidden carbon footprint. With our Medical Waste Audit tools, you’ll gain clarity on how much waste you’re producing, what it’s costing you, and where your greatest carbon opportunities lie.
Use the tools below to:
-Calculate your waste weight and CO₂ emissions by procedure or across your facility
-Compare to industry benchmarks and regional averages
-Estimate disposal cost and visualize category breakdowns
-Export or save your results for reporting or internal benchmarking
