Abstract
Healthcare is one of the largest polluting industries in the world, not only as a carbon emitter but also as an ever growing waste creator that still sees differences in countries depending on the per capita income, which calls for urgent action. The pandemic has evidenced the lack of certainty in the system, urging for a need to implement new technologies to leverage the supply to meet the escalating demand. Efficiency and optimization are the two key paths that need to be taken on the road to sustainability in the major resource consumer industry that is healthcare.
