First U.S. children's hospital to achieve LEED Gold operations
Seattle Children's Building Cure achieved LEED Gold and the hospital became a national leader in pediatric facility decarbonization, pairing efficiency retrofits with renewable PPAs.
Pediatric leader that pledged in 2020 to be carbon neutral by 2025. Recognized by The Joint Commission for an anesthesiology led project to reduce inhaled anesthetic gas emissions.
Percentiles compare this hospital against peers in the selected set. Higher is better on both metrics.
Directional estimate. Tons modeled from this hospital's annual waste footprint and category benchmarks (Practice Greenhealth, vendor case studies). Diminishing returns applied when multiple solutions share a category.

Products from our solutions directory that align with this hospital's stated commitments and active projects.
Capture and destroy systems for waste anesthetic gases (desflurane, sevoflurane, N₂O) that prevent potent greenhouse gas release and cut volatile pharma waste.
Decision support tool that correctly classifies drug waste so hospitals stop disposing non hazardous pharma in expensive, plastic heavy regulated waste streams.
Closed canister system that captures exhaled volatile anesthetics from scavenging lines and ships them back for purification and resale as pharmaceutical grade product.
OR-side device that scrubs waste anaesthetic gases (sevoflurane, desflurane, N₂O) from the scavenging line before they vent to atmosphere, using a novel adsorbent developed at the University of Auckland.
Zeolite-based canister fitted to the anaesthesia machine exhaust that captures sevoflurane, isoflurane and desflurane. Saturated canisters are returned to ZeoSys, where the anaesthetic is desorbed, purified and re-sold as pharmaceutical-grade drug.
Publicly documented programs where this hospital or its parent system reported measurable results.
