ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AT THE HOSPITAL
Sustainable laundry services
The São Lucas Hospital has founded, along with six other hospitals in the Capital, the Association of Hospitals of Porto Alegre, in order to create the Industrial Plant of Textile Cleaning. The plant is composed by a laundromat in an 11-hectare area, purchased in 2013, and it has contributed to increase productivity, optimize costs and rationalize resource usage. The pursuit of sustainability in the HSL has been kept along the years and the shaping of its concept embodies environmental, social, and economic aspects.
