  1. Case study and how-to guide: reduce, re-use, recycle in the dialysis unit

    The three case studies outlined here show that the principles most commonly used to underpin waste reduction strategies – reduce, reuse, recycle – can be successfully applied to renal units, and that financial savings can be made.
