The Awards for Excellence in Waste Management for the NHS in England marks a pivotal milestone in the NHS’s unwavering dedication to sustainability and the substantial reduction of its carbon footprint. These awards symbolise the healthcare system’s commitment to environmental responsibility and the vital role waste management plays in achieving this objective.

Our judging panel will carefully consider a diverse range of submissions for the Awards for Excellence in Waste Management. We’re not solely focused on the size or funding of projects, but rather on the impact and innovation they bring to the table. Whether it’s a small-scale initiative with big potential or a larger project making waves, we’re eager to recognise and celebrate all efforts that contribute to positive change in waste management within healthcare. We’re particularly interested in submissions that demonstrate scalability and the potential to inspire others in the field. Let’s shine a spotlight on initiatives that are making a real difference!

The process for the awards is: Submission, Judging, Shortlisting, Shortlist Announcement and will be concluded at a live Awards Ceremony at the BCEC Conference Centre in Birmingham on the 2nd October 2024.

There are nine awards available to enter. The award categories and descriptions together with the online submission form can be found below.
