Meet our first Green Star Award winner!

Congratulations to dietitian Rosa Holt who works in critical care at ARI on being the first to receive an NHS Grampian Green Star Award. Rosa has started a project to encourage colleagues to recycle more, starting with the food supplement bottles used by health professionals every day.

We currently spend around £125,000 every month disposing of clinical waste. A lot of this could be recycled which would save both carbon and money. Let’s get behind Rosa and her team’s ‘Recycle Plastic, It’s Fantastic’ project. They’re more than happy to offer support and advice to other staff.

Rosa was presented with her award by Director of Infrastructure and Sustainability, Alan Wilson, and Waste Manager, Neil Duncan. Well done, Rosa!

Can you think of someone else who deserves a Green Star? Similar to the Star Awards but with a focus on sustainability – staff can nominate any colleague, group or team who have undertaken a project or change in process/practice which has helped reduce our impact on the environment.
