Pioneering the future of clinical waste
The NHS has committed to reducing its carbon footprint by 80% by 2040 (Greener NHS Plan - Pathway NetZero). Curo can convert clinical waste to general waste, giving significant cost savings, as well as the option to then turn waste into floc for energy or recyclable materials - both of which can generate income for the Trust or Health Board and create a circular economy.
