The main objective of this call for projects is to significantly reduce the use of single-use medical products in Belgian hospitals, within a general framework of sustainability, taking into account the important aspect of safety for healthcare providers and patients. These projects must demonstrate a certain degree of complementarity with existing efforts.
The projects can fall into two categories:
- Direct reduction in the use of disposable products for (at least) one identified type of product/location.
- Strengthening of cross-cutting processes (such as purchasing, logistics, cooperation and data exchange between actors, etc.) to reduce the use of disposable products.
Budget: 600.000 euro (in total for 3 to 6 projects)
Deadline: 27 October 2025
