The environmental debate continues to expand in the realm of healthcare, resulting in increased scrutiny of the impact of material waste and gas emissions in the operating room (OR). In a single day, ORs can contribute up to 2000 tons of medical waste, mostly in the form of disposable medical supplies. We review the major challenges associated with "going green" in the OR.
