VDI 4075 Blatt 5:2014-01

The standard gives a summary about the economic and ecological optimisation measures for a Cleaner Production (Production-Integrated Environmental Protection - PIUS) in the health service. It is intended for practitioners from companies and institutions of the health service who are familiar with the optimisation of design production processes and facilities and, thus, simultaneously intend to protect environment, optimise quality and reduce costs. All measures implemented in hospitals show special difficulties due to the large number of active members. A uniform environmental management starting with acquisition up to disposal as well as regular information of all active members on Cleaner Production measures and their advantages is a prerequisite for a successful realisation of the Cleaner Production potentials.
