The health of the natural world is declining globally at rates that are unprecedented in human history, posing a threat to the wellbeing of human populations worldwide.

While dialysis is an important life-saving treatment, it also has a significant environmental impact due to large volumes of water, medical supplies and energy required. A patient undergoing 3 x 4-hour dialysis treatments each week will use about 18,000 liters of water per year.

As a global player in the health care sector, our responsibility extends beyond our business operations. We monitor the environmental performance of our operations globally and aim to use resources efficiently.

Across our dialysis centers in Asia Pacific, Fresenius Kidney Care collects and evaluates data related to our electricity and water consumption that enable us to design action plans to decrease the impact of dialysis on the environment. This activity is being extended to examine clinical and non-clinic waste generated from our operations, including recyclable waste such as plastics, glass, metal, and cardboard from packaging materials.
