Spreading Good Practice
Making Healthcare More Sustainable
Did you know nitrous oxide has more than 265 times the global warming potential than CO2?
The Nitrous Oxide Project has led to a huge reduction in nitrous oxide use in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The Health Board has projected savings of 1.15m litres per year – that’s an equivalent to 679 tonnes of CO2.

Newsletters
The Hub has collated a number of good practice examples, a guide to the circular economy, an update on social prescribing and information on the Bevan Commission’s Let’s Not Waste programme, to accelerate the adoption of sustainable solutions and ways of working.
