The Mersey Regional Burns and Plastic Surgery Unit at Whiston Hospital and the Northwest Regional Spinal Injuries Centre at Southport Hospital serves a population of over 4 million across the whole of Cheshire and Merseyside, The Isle of Man and North Wales. Objectives for Sustainable Procurement Sustainability in purchasing need not necessarily cost more and there is now a much wider choice of environmentally friendly products. "Green goods" are not necessarily more expensive; often if the 'whole life cost' of a product is considered the cheapest product is more expensive in the long run. Whole life costing means taking into account the total cost of an item over its lifetime such as raw materials sourcing, running costs, transportation, admin costs and disposal costs. The overarching objective is for sustainability considerations to be addressed within the procurement cycle in all instances. The more specific objectives in terms of sustainable procurement are: To seek alternatives to products and processes which are detrimental to the environment and social well‐being by using more environmentally friendly and ethically traded products and processes. To minimise waste, including: any packaging, waste produced by the product (or service) in question, and waste generated by the eventual disposal of the product.
