"How much is medical waste actually costing us?" is one of the questions hospitals are finally asking out loud.

The problem is, most facilities don't realize they're dealing with a 10-20% annual cost increase—plus safety risks and sustainability pressure that isn't going away.

In this episode, I speak with Andy Marshall, CEO of Sterilis Solutions, about how onsite sterilization changes the equation for hospitals, what's actually driving the shift away from third-party waste haulers, and why waste is the number one sustainability focus for healthcare facilities—not CO2.

This conversation is practical, data-driven, and based on real implementations. We talk about needlestick injuries (over 1,000 per day in the US alone), the difference between landfill, incineration, and onsite treatment, and why medical device companies need to think about material selection from a disposal perspective.

If you work in MedTech and want to understand what hospitals actually care about when it comes to sustainability, this episode will help you design better devices and communicate value to customers who are tired of watching waste costs climb every year.
