Context & mission Médecins Sans Frontières is an independent, international medical and humanitarian organization that provides care to people in need, people affected by natural or man-made disasters, and victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and without regard to race, religion, creed or political affiliation (MSF Charter). Climate change and environmental degradations pose a significant threat to global health and the environment. MSF, recognizing this, has committed to reducing its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 by adapting and addressing issues related to the transport of people, supply, construction, energy and waste management. MSF Operational Centres (OCs) and European Supply Centres (ESCs) have included in their Environmental Roadmaps a transition to more sustainable medical single-use items with a reduced environmental footprint, while maintaining quality standards and optimizing consumption. The "rethinking single-use" project aims to mitigate the environmental impact of the usage of single-use items and their packaging in the context of MSF medical operations by orienting procurement towards more sustainable alternative products and improving rational use. The mitigation measures include listing of new alternative products to the catalogue, development of technical specifications to reduce the environmental impact of the product and rational use improvement. In the initial phase of this project, the most impactful single-use medical items were identified based on their effects on the environment, human health, and local pollution as well as potential mitigation measures for most of them. However, there remains a gap within MSF in terms of environmental expertise which is necessary to successfully integrate the proposed mitigation measures. Therefore, the second phase of the project will deliver the necessary structural changes that will allow systematic integration into business practices, ensuring the project's long-term success. The Sustainable Medical Product Advisor will play a crucial role in mainstreaming the environmental expertise into the product selection process.
