该合作伙伴关系旨在通过实施一个结构化、合规且技术赋能的生物医学设备和IT相关废弃物回收系统，将循环经济原则应用于所有25家以上的Ujala Cygnus医院。据估算，基于每张床位每天约0.2公斤的废弃物产生量，每年将处理100多公吨的电子废弃物。此项倡议将确保端到端的可追溯性、遵守中央污染控制委员会（CPCB）/州污染控制委员会（SPCB）的指导方针，并实现透明的材料回收流程。

The initiative is projected to result in an annual carbon offset of over 200 tonnes of CO₂, aligning closely with India’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals and broader global climate commitments.

该倡议预计每年将减少超过200吨二氧化碳排放，与印度的环境、社会和治理（ESG）目标及更广泛的全球气候承诺紧密契合。
