The healthcare sector is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with supply chain activities—particularly packaging, transport, and distribution—playing a significant role. Addressing these emissions is vital, as they contribute not only to climate change but also to adverse health outcomes through air pollution and environmental degradation. In response, a growing number of organizations are adopting sustainable packaging strategies as a key entry point for reducing Scope 3 emissions and aligning with global climate and health goals.
This article outlines a practical, scalable framework developed by SourcingHaus Research & Consulting Group, based on extensive work across global health supply chains. It provides detailed guidance on how organizations can optimize packaging design and materials to reduce emissions, lower logistics costs, and improve regulatory alignment—offering a replicable model for advancing both sustainability and operational performance.
