Challenges of managing home care product residues to protect biodiversity
Enjeux de la prise en charge des résidus de produits de soins à domicile pour protéger la biodiversité
Résumé
Healthcare professionals have a role to play in reducing micropollutant emissions from healthcare products at source. A survey was conducted on the practices of homecare workers, particularly on the management of drug residues and the recovery of excreta (urine and faeces). There are obstacles, but also levers to protect biodiversity from the toxicity of healthcare waste.
