Healthcare Waste Report - Environment Health

Alarming increases in resource consumption
and waste generation are evident across the
world and warrant the move towards a sound
material cycle society. Reduce, Reuse, and
Recycle; the 3Rs of waste management are the
buzzwords of the present day world in tackling
the resource and waste crisis.
The 3R Knowledge Hub, shortly 3RKH, is a
joint initiative of the Asian Development Bank,
the United Nations Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific, the UNEP
Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the
Pacific and the Asian Institute of Technology.
The foremost function of 3RKH is to create,
collect and capture 3R information and store
it in an easily retrievable platform, in addition
to sharing, enriching and disseminating it. The
hub functions are hosted and operated jointly by
UNEP Regional Resource Centre for Asia and
the Pacific and the Asian Institute of Technology,
in collaboration with other partners.
With the view of disseminating the information
and taking it to a wider audience, the 3RKH
maintains a database having extensive
collections of 3R materials such as:
• Assessment Reports
• Best Practices
• Case studies
• Conference Proceedings
• Corporate Initiatives
• Journals
• Lessons Learnt
• Manuals / Guidelines
• Periodicals
• Policy Briefs
• Publications
The database also contains a section on 3R
policies in Asian countries and a collection of 3R
experts and researchers. To access 3R related
