摘要

Healthcare waste accounts for a meaningful proportion of the global carbon footprint. There are innumerable global endeavours to integrate “green” initiatives into everyday living. Every interventional radiology (IR) department must strive to minimise its carbon footprint without any diminution of patient care. We explored the factors that negatively impact the environment with respect to waste generation in the IR suite and how simple innovations can bring about sustainable change. The aim of this review article is to outline the nature of waste generated in the IR suite and to describe changes that IR departments can make to reduce the negative environmental effect of their practice.
