Experts from across Europe have come together to produce new sets of sustainability criteria for disposable gloves and reusable medical textiles. Focussed on examination gloves and reusable medical textiles, these sets of criteria have been drafted with the support of the Healthcare Market Transformation Network (HMTN) to provide sustainability criteria and guidelines for healthcare procurement teams.

Built in collaboration with procurement, healthcare, and product specialists, the aim of these documents is to support healthcare procurers by providing a variety of inspirational sustainability-related criteria for reusable textiles and examination gloves to use in relevant tenders and achieve healthcare institutions’ sustainability goals. Together, hospitals and healthcare systems across Europe can use their purchasing power to increase demand for sustainability. . .
