本專案聚焦於藥用容器廢棄物之回收再利用，旨在協助醫療院所減量廢棄物，實踐永續發展目標。本院每月焚燒廢棄物總量達205.20公噸，其中藥用玻璃瓶及血液透析用塑膠容器因含殘留藥劑，具潛在環境污染風險。本專案透過釐清相關環保法規與作業細節，開發專用回收設備，建立標準化流程，並推動法規修訂，以協助醫療院所落實藥用容器的正確回收與再利用。經由專案執行，本體系醫院每年可減少一般事業廢棄物焚燒量507,525公斤，約相當於41,906樹之固碳量，亦等同於8.4座大安森林公園之綠地面積規模。此改善措施不僅確保醫療廢棄物處理之安全與符合法規規定，亦為醫療機構落實ESG目標、展現減碳成效的成功案例。本專案期透過制度建立與推動入法，引領全國醫療院所共同減少碳排放，邁向綠色醫療願景。

This project aimed to reduce medical waste and promote sustainable development by reusing pharmaceutical glass vials and plastic waste from hemodialysis treatments in hospitals. Hospitals within our group generate 205.20 metric tons of incinerated waste per month. Pharmaceutical glass vials and hemodialysis plastic containers, which often contain residual medication, pose environmental risks and disposal challenges. In this project, relevant environmental regulations and operational procedures were clarified, dedicated recycling equipment was developed, recycling was standardized, and regulatory amendments were made to facilitate compliant and effective reuse practices in healthcare facilities.

Through project implementation, the hospitals within our group reduced their general industrial waste incineration by 507,525 kg annually, equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of approximately 41,906 trees or the green area of 8.4 Daan Forest Park in Taipei. Overall, this project ensures the safe and lawful management of medical waste and also serves as a successful example of how healthcare institutions can advance environmental, social, and governance goals and achieve measurable carbon reduction. The project also institutionalizes and legalizes recycling practices and can guide hospitals nationwide toward low-carbon, greener healthcare.
