Résumé

Reprocessing of endoscopic equipment generates greenhouse gas emissions, releases toxic substances into the environment, and consumes large quantities of water. The use of alternative materials, such as single-use devices with a low carbon footprint and recycled materials, and reprocessing without the use of water and toxic products represent sustainable solutions.
