Future Technology & Supporting the NHS 20:20:60 Strategy
Driving the NHS 20:20:60 Strategy
The NHS clinical waste strategy sets clear segregation targets known as 20:20:60:
- 20% High-Temperature Incineration (HTI)
- 20% Alternative Treatment (AT)
- 60% Offensive Waste
Directing waste away from carbon-intensive, high-cost incineration into lower-carbon treatment routes is critical for achieving Net Zero goals. Albus is developing smart systems designed specifically to make this target achievable.
ACORN: Intelligent Waste Segregation Data
Our proprietary platform, ACORN, gives NHS Trusts and healthcare managers real-time visibility over their waste streams at trust, hospital, department, and site level.
Through interactive dashboards, ACORN tracks key metrics:
- Real-time Volumes: Live tracking of waste data by site, department, and waste stream.
- Target Progress: Clear visuals showing performance against the NHS 20:20:60 benchmarks.
- Carbon and Cost Insights: Carbon emissions breakdowns per treatment method alongside cost comparison data.
- Compliance and Trends: Automated alerts for exception reporting, potential non-conformance, and month-on-month trend analysis.
Predictive Analytics, Digital Audits, and Targeted Training
Data is only valuable when it leads to action. Albus integrates digital insights into every layer of site management:
Predictive Analytics
Our platform analyzes historical trends across similar departments to spot unusual shifts in waste composition early. If waste volumes swing outside normal tolerances, our account management team is alerted automatically to suggest corrective actions before costs or carbon outputs escalate.
Mobile Digital Waste Audits
Our teams conduct paperless audits via mobile application, complete with photo evidence, precise locations, and assigned action points. Shared dashboards track these actions through to completion, giving NHS trusts a clear audit trail for compliance.
Data-Driven Training and Educational Resources
Correct segregation relies on empowered staff. We use site waste data to identify exactly where support is needed most.
