Gerald Woodard, CEO, SRI Surgical commented, "This presentation speaks to the evolution of factors, over the last four decades, that have contributed to the significant volume of waste we now see in our operating rooms and ultimately in our landfills. Sustainability is about making decisions today that won't negatively impact future generations. Choosing environmentally preferable products for the OR can materially reduce the volume of waste and the production of greenhouse gases."
