Recyclable compounds from medical devices: ideas for action
At CHU de Rennes (35), the DM recycling initiative involves sorting and recycling metal waste from operating theatres, such as the copper contained in electric scalpels and the stainless steel contained in laryngoscope blades. This initiative helps to finance the purchase of soft toys for hospitalized children, to make their time in the operating room less dramatic. The metals are recycled by a local company for the benefit of the association "Les P'tits Doudous du CHU de Rennes".
Why it's so important to sort bio-waste
Sorting biowaste at source is the only way to guarantee quality sorting and divert biowaste from landfill or incineration. Biowaste is non-hazardous waste, but landfilling it emits methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Organic recovery, on the other hand, treats biowaste in a sustainable way, returning the compost from composting or the digestate from methanization to the soil.
Waste: free of charge and transfer of responsibility thanks to eco-organizations

Innovative catering at Clinique Pasteur
Catering at the Clinique Pasteur (31) is an integral part of care: organic fruit and vegetables produced by a neighboring ESAT, which enriches its soils with compost produced from the clinic's fermentable waste, a reduced and selected range of supplies, training for kitchen staff in the benefits of Omega 3, a vegetable garden cultivated on the clinic's roofs, and an in-house grocery store. To discover in pictures.
To whet the taste buds but also the curiosity, committed collective catering initiatives
Our eating habits can have a greater or lesser impact on our environment. Questioning and changing our eating habits makes perfect sense. Offering low-carbon menus throughout an establishment can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions - from minus 15% to minus 30% or more, depending on the meal - while raising awareness among staff, patients and residents of the carbon footprint of each of our meals.
