"Green dialysis" - where do we stand in Germany?
GreenTec Dialysis in Heidelberg is the only start-up in Germany to develop sustainable technologies for dialysis centres. Dr Hans Peter Barth and Falk Sommer talk about innovative approaches to reducing energy and water consumption as well as waste in dialysis. Despite increasing attention, the dialysis sector has so far lacked realisable technologies that save resources on a large scale. GreenTec Dialysis focuses on water and electricity consumption, waste water recycling and the digitalisation of processes to improve the environmental balance.
