System for managing health service and similar waste and generating tradeable environmental credits

Abstract

The present invention pertains to the solid waste management sector, especially health service waste, and relates more specifically to a system that allows the administrator to map the volume of both suppliers and waste generators, especially hospitals, to the point of being able to calculate the amount of waste that the products supplied by each supplier generate at each generator, separated by waste groups. In another step, the system calculates the journey in kilometres (km) that each waste group makes from the generator's waste centre to its destination and also lists the respective objective consumption of natural resources to that point, such as fuel, electricity, thermal energy and water. In the last step, the system then calculates for each supplier the ratio between the amount of waste generated monthly and the products sold by it at a given generator so that the administrator can sell environmental credits that can in the future be traded on the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission).

Description

HEALTHCARE AND SIMILAR SERVICE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND GENERATION OF TRADABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CREDITS Technological Sector of Invention

[0001] The present invention pertains to the solid waste management sector, particularly healthcare services, and relates, more specifically, to a system that allows the administrator to map the volume of both suppliers and waste generators, particularly hospitals, to the point of being able to calculate the amount of waste generated by the products supplied by each supplier in each generator, separated by waste groups (for example, as currently determined by ANVISA's RDC / 222). In another step, the system calculates the route, in kilometers (km), that each group of waste takes from the generator's waste center to its destination and also relates the respective objective consumption of natural resources expended to reach that point, such as fuel, electricity, thermal energy, and water.In the last step, the system then calculates for each supplier the relationship between the quantity of waste generated monthly by the products sold by them in a given generator so that they can be purchased by the administrator as environmental credits that can be traded in the future at the CVM (Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission). State of the art

[0002] For decades, healthcare institutions have been seeking alternatives for a better and more environmentally appropriate destination for the waste generated in their activities.

[0003] In Brazil, according to ABRELPE (Brazilian Association of Public Cleaning and Special Waste Companies), more than 256 thousand tons of waste are generated per year by public health service institutions alone, and of these, around 74% receive some type of treatment.

[0004] The problems caused by waste, especially those discarded or disposed of inappropriately in the environment, can be assessed from their conception, production, economic and social aspects, all linked to depletion of its sources of raw materials and the changes in soil, air and water caused, which may generate environmental and health problems for the population.

[0005] Healthcare waste is potentially even more aggressive when not treated properly, as it may contain pathogenic microorganisms capable of causing contamination and epidemics.

[0006] Many treatment alternatives that were presented were unsuccessful amid much discussion about the effectiveness of their techniques and the changes in procedures, regulations and legislation that were being improved at the same time that best waste management practices were being implemented.

[0007] Technological advancements and institutions' constant pursuit of patient safety have led to the increasing use of disposable materials in healthcare. This shift, however, results in a significant increase in the volume of waste to be managed.

[0008] Amid these changes, the constant evolution of human health care activities, consequently, also imposes constant changes in the environmental management model of health institutions.

[0009] In this context, most healthcare institutions have created an environmental management department to deal with this and other issues relevant to environmental preservation.

[0010] Once a qualified professional has been assigned to perform these activities, he or she can implement the environmental management system, preferably guided by NBR ISO 14000.

[0011] In recent years, the mandatory participation of the entire production chain (manufacturers, distributors, importers and hospitals) in the search for the best possible efficiency has been gaining momentum within Brazilian and global society, with the specific objective of environmental depletion (continuous extraction of a natural resource that causes its scarcity or disappearance).

[0012] It turns out that, currently, even though some manufacturers and distributors adopt policies and actions that improve their impacts, it is undoubtedly in the hospital that the problem accumulates and worsens due to the large volume of waste and the consequent severity of the environmental impacts on the air, soil, water and human health.

[0013] However, when analyzing the management model in place, it is clear that to this day, hospitals bear all responsibility for the management and environmental impacts caused by healthcare waste.

[0014] Furthermore, when analyzing the Environmental Management System and the Healthcare Waste Management Plans of hospitals, it is clear that the solutions adopted still meet safety requirements regarding packaging, transportation, external treatment and final disposal in landfills, resulting, however, in high operational costs, recycling and use rates below 8% and, most importantly, they are incapable of suppressing the imminent need to counter environmental depletion and the involvement of the hospital ecosystem in the technical, economic and social solution to the problem.

[0015] The current reference line used in medium and large hospitals can be seen in the infographic presented in Figure 1. Based on the analysis of the infographic, it is possible to identify that the reference line adopted in the management of healthcare waste is not capable of promoting a depletion of the environmental impacts caused by this production chain.

[0016] The 92% rate presented is a reference, however, hospital activity presents a hostile environment for a more appropriate disposal of solid waste, especially considering the aspects of dangerousness and toxicity presented in many of these materials, which makes improving the performance of this indicator a complex challenge.

[0017] For the purposes of practical understanding of what this model represents to the environment, the main impacts of hospital activity are conceptually presented, which are represented in Figure 2, as follows: • Consumed environmental aspect: these are the impacts caused by the resources acquired to carry out activities, such as food, medicines, materials, equipment and others; • Activity: these are the impacts caused by the resources used to carry out the activities, which can be consumed as water, gas and energy; and • Environmental aspect generated: these are the impacts caused by the way in which the results of activities are managed, such as atmospheric emissions, effluents and solid waste.

[0018] This analysis is fundamental to understanding the difficulties that exist in the hospital environment in carrying out environmental counter-depletion in the three impacts presented.

[0019] It is essential to take into account that the health network serves a large portion of the population through the unified health system, which, due to its condition of remuneration for services provided, does not imply large investments in combating environmental depletion.

[0020] Likewise, it is possible to understand that suppliers in the hospital segment, even though they may be interested in participating in projects, methods or programs to counter environmental depletion, will come to the conclusion that, mainly for the generated aspect, the system is open, with not many possibilities for control since the forwardings are to the most varied destinations, and it is not possible to be certain what will be done with the sent solid waste.

[0021] There is then a need to ensure the correct recycling, reuse, treatment and transformation of waste to guarantee the environmental counter-depletion of the chain, so that the safety of the system allows the engagement of suppliers in the hospital segment, and this is only possible in a closed cycle, the object of the system revealed in the invention.

[0022] In this scenario, a gap opens up for a closed-loop environmental counter-depletion system, with the need for companies to have a organized and agile, all information regarding the generation and disposal of your waste, such as inventory, types of packaging, volume per group, costs of final disposal, among other management information, favoring the management and planning of the continuous improvement of this process. Novelties of the Invention

[0023] The rationalization of natural resources is the most appropriate way to improve the relationship between human consumption and environmental balance, so much so that the entire world has been increasing the intensity of the search for solutions that can guarantee this result.

[0024] Therefore, the invention is revealed as a database-based cloud computing system. It develops a calculation rationale that takes into account previously determined parameters. Based on data collected from products supplied by hospital suppliers and waste generation by waste generators (hospitals, etc.), it allows for the calculation of the performance and environmental efficiency provided by the generator's waste management.

[0025] Therefore, the more efficient the waste management process, the more it should generate and value environmental depletion credits, which are the actual environmental depletion credits. Environmental depletion credits are issued by the system administrator as a service provision to hospital suppliers.

[0026] The objective is to integrate the hospital ecosystem to participate in solid waste management and together achieve the best possible efficiency in optimizing natural resources, reducing with the goal of zeroing the environmental impacts of transportation, treatment and final disposal of waste, sharing the cost.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0028] The waste management system operates in a closed loop, as summarized in Figure 3, performing data computation and calculations in five general steps: 1) inputting supplier data; 2) inputting waste generator data; 3) compiling the data from the first and second steps; 4) obtaining results and issuing credits; 5) consulting and purchasing credits. To better illustrate the invention, an example from the hospital sector will be used, as described below. Data requested from suppliers

[0029] In the system interface, as shown in Figure 4, there is an environment that only the administrator has access to point out sales statistics and Data is requested from suppliers in the segment in question, in the example given is the hospital: product registration and the composition of its parts, and it is important to highlight that the most relevant information in this registration is the product code from the supplier, the component itself (technical name) and the weight of each one (in kg).

[0030] Sales statistics, in which data must be sent in the month following the month in which sales were made, must be sent in a specific file format (XML) containing data relevant to the supplier, the customer (waste generator) and data on the products sold with code, description and quantity. Data requested from generators

[0031] Data is requested from the waste generator, in this example the hospital, as follows: a) As per Figure 5, the date and registration of the legal entity (code) and name are requested, as well as the type of waste and waste group (according to the ANVISA classification detailed in RDC / 222), in addition to weight and unit of measurement; b) As per Figure 6, there is a registration of the destinations (destination indicator) of each component of each product from the suppliers, in which in this registration the generator informs for each of the components of each product, after its use and transformed into waste, one of the options below: • Enters statistics directly: In this option, the generator declares that its waste management model knows exactly the route, treatment and final destination of the waste - a step used when the generator (hospital) is certain of the destination of a certain component, such as a cardboard box that will certainly be recycled; • Consumption: In this option, the generator declares that the component was consumed (water, drinks, medicines, etc.); • Enters statistics through apportionment: In this option, the generator declares that for a given component there is no way of guaranteeing what type of waste it will be transformed into and, therefore, the system must make an apportionment proportional to the total volume of waste separated by waste group.

[0032] Furthermore, the generator is asked to register the waste disposal routes by waste group and the treatment technology adopted, as shown in Figure 6. c) According to Figure 7, the waste route is registered by waste group: The route is used to automatically calculate the distance traveled between the generator's address, the intermediate points and the known final destinations.

[0033] If a generator has more than one business unit, the system requires that the routes for each unit be registered. Standardized waste data in the system

[0034] To compile data from suppliers and generators, the system uses concepts established by law, also taking into account the guidelines of environmental agencies in each state and municipality. To this end, the legal standardization of the following concepts is adopted: a) Waste groups; b) Waste subgroups; c) Waste types; d) Treatment technologies; e) Environmental agencies; f) Component groups; g) Component subgroups; h) Product groups; i) Product subgroups.

[0035] Based on this information, suppliers and generators send the data for compilation in the system. Supplier waste inventory

[0036] In the example of the waste inventory for hospital suppliers, the platform administrator compiles data. To perform the waste inventory, the system executes a script as shown below: a) As shown in Figure 8, sales data for suppliers' products is imported for each generator. At the end of the data compilation, the system displays the imported records, as well as any inconsistent records, so they can be updated and recompiled (due to new products that were not imported into the registry). b) As shown in Figure 9, the generators' waste generation (e.g., hospitals) is imported. At the end of the data compilation, the system displays the imported records, as well as any inconsistent records, so they can be updated and recompiled.c) The apportionment calculation (for components that are destined for the “Enter statistics through apportionment” option shown in the Data requested from generators item) is performed through the following steps: I. Choosing the calculation period (month to month), as shown in Figure 10; II. Compilation and consolidation of all sales imports from suppliers and waste generation in that period, as per Figure 11; III. Totalization of waste by waste group and also by generator, as shown in Figure 12; IV. Distribution of waste percentages by waste group for the specific generator (based on information received from the generators), including the total and specific weight per group, as shown in Figure 13; V. Carrying out the apportionment for each supplier correlating it to the generator, the product, component, waste group, weight of the apportioned component and its quantity, and therefore the total weight of the component, as shown in Figure 14 VI. Allows you to consult statistics for waste inventory management - this monitoring can be performed by supplier, generator, period, state, municipality, waste group, and other variables, as shown in Figure 15. This figure also includes a data filtering area that generates the graph containing the statistics.

[0037] Waste inventory is a tool within the system that enables suppliers to understand and manage the volume of waste their products are generating for their customers.

[0038] For generators (e.g. hospitals), the system makes it possible to understand each supplier's share of the total volume of waste generated.

[0039] For the system administrator, compiling this information enables the development of ecosystem cooperation (e.g., hospital) to reduce both waste volumes and the environmental impacts caused by its management. Environmental inventory

[0040] In the context of the system, the environmental inventory is the calculation of the consumption of natural resources and impacts caused by the transportation and treatment of waste from the generator to its known final destination.

[0041] It is carried out within waste generators (hospitals, companies, etc.), following the routes and treatments of waste until its final disposal.

[0042] The ultimate goal is to determine the impacts generated at all stages (transportation and treatment) up to the known final destination, totaling by waste group and then by supplier.

[0043] Using an initial impact map, a periodic inventory can be conducted, comparing the progress of each control point. By comparing the impacts at each control point, it is possible to determine the progress of waste generators' processes.

[0044] Impacts are measured by technical visits by the generator to each waste transport and disposal facility. These visits will assess fuel consumption, water consumption, and electrical and thermal energy consumption.

[0045] The final expression will be as follows: • Generator: Ex. hospital 'X'; • Waste group: Group A; • Sections traveled: o Section 1: Address 1 to Address 2; o Section 2: Address 2 to Address 3; o Section 3: Address 3 to Address 4.

[0046] Based on the information involving the generator, the group of waste generated and the travel distances, the following consumption levels will be obtained until the final destination (e.g. Address 1 to Address 4), which are achieved after auditing and technical analysis: a) Water: 5.8 l / kg of waste; b) Diesel oil: 2.3 l / kg of waste; c) Firewood: 0.3 m 3 / kg of waste; d) Electrical energy: 0.46 kW / kg of waste.

[0047] The above consumption figures are objective, which is what the system initially intends to calculate. Of course, the system will be able to receive subjective data, such as emissions, for example.

[0048] Using mathematical logic, considering the reduction in environmental impact at control points, one point is assigned for each percentage point of reduction (1% = 1 point). At the end, it will be possible to compare the total points from the previous inventory with the new inventory.

[0049] To carry out the environmental inventory, the data collection from waste generators is divided into 5 control points: routes to the final destination; treatment technologies; environmental inventory (listing the impacts of each section and process up to the final destination); comparative inventories (listing the impacts of each section and process up to the final destination again); impacts of each section and process until the final destination; at the end, the system calculates the percentage of reduction of each of the environmental impacts related in the opening inventory) and calculation of environmental credits (if, for example, in a section there was a 34% reduction in diesel consumption per kilogram of waste, the system will assign 66 points to that impact, since it discounts the 34% of the improvement; at the end, the total of new points is added and compared with the previous total, then assigning a positive percentage of improvement, which increases the value of the credit by the same percentage; or assigning a negative percentage of worsening, which decreases the value of the credit by the same percentage). Control of routes to the destination

[0050] By controlling the routes to the destination, as shown in Figure 16, based on the information collected and calculated above, it is possible to determine the main impacts resulting from the logistics of transporting waste to the known final destination: • Number of kilometers (km) driven in an urban environment; • Number of kilometers (km) driven on highways; • Quantity of liters of fuel per kilogram (l / kg) of waste transported. Treatment technologies

[0051] There are currently several waste treatment technologies available on the market. The system uses a specific registry for each one to calculate the impact of each resource. An example of autoclave treatment is shown in Figure 17, with each manufacturer having its own equipment construction and technical characteristics. • Examples of consumption: o Autoclave of the aforementioned brand; o Water consumption: 0.8 liters / kg of waste; o LPG consumption: 0.09 m 3 / kg of waste; o Electricity: 1 kW / kg of waste. • Example of incineration: o Water consumption: 1.2 liters / kg of waste; o LPG consumption: 0.45 m 3 / kg of waste; o Electricity: 3 kW / kg of waste.

[0052] It is also necessary to report all technologies used up to the known final destination of the waste. The impacts of the routes and treatment technologies described here will be totaled by waste group. Presentation of the environmental inventory

[0053] Once all this information has been compiled, the system will display the environmental inventory, as shown in Figure 18. It's important to note that the system's unit of measurement is kilograms (kg) of waste. Therefore, all consumption levels presented will be displayed in this format. At the end of the inventory, the system will be able to understand the impact (or consumption) for each impact per kilogram (kg) of waste up to the final destination. This provides access to the chosen treatment process, the type of environmental impact generated, the consumption and generated impacts, the associated waste groups, their respective quantities and units of measurement, and the starting points. Comparative inventories

[0054] To conduct frequent environmental inventories, the system enables a constant assessment of environmental impact mitigation. Mitigation is calculated by the mathematical difference between each impact identified in the previous inventory and the new inventory, as shown in the example in Figure 19. By comparing data on waste quantity and units of measurement between dates, the system displays the percentage reduction / increase, current points, and the trend, which may be positive or negative. Points calculation

[0055] In the first environmental inventory carried out, 100 points are assigned to each control point, indicating that this would be the initial line of observation of environmental impacts, as demonstrated in the environmental inventory presentation topic.

[0056] From the second inventory, it is possible to calculate the reduction or increase at each control point, as also shown in the table in Figure 19.

[0057] This evolution will be used to calculate the value of environmental credits. Calculation of the cost of waste management at the generator

[0058] Performed through monthly closings, it is necessary to total the waste generation volumes by group, inform its respective total fixed cost for the period (internal value obtained from the generator's accounting / financial department) and the amount spent on transportation, treatment and disposal of waste by waste group (which is agreed upon by the waste recipients), as shown in Figure 20. The fixed cost per kilogram of waste generated is obtained by dividing the monthly fixed cost of waste management by the total amount of waste generated in the period; thus, the total cost per kilogram of waste is obtained by the sum of the cost per kilogram of waste disposal and the fixed cost per kilogram of waste generated.

[0059] As demonstrated, the objective of this part of the system is to calculate the final cost per kilogram (kg) of each group of waste. Calculation of Environmental Depletion Credits (ECCD)

[0060] To calculate the amount of environmental credits and the value of each one, the system applies the concepts and logic explained below, which previously name the following types of CCDAs: I. CCDA-GA-INF = Environmental credit for group A waste, infectious; II. CCDA-GB-QUI = Environmental credit for group B waste, Chemicals; III. CCDA-GC-RAD = Environmental credit for group C, Radioactive waste; IV. CCDA-GD-COM = Environmental credit for group D waste, Common; V. CCDA-GD-REC = Environmental credit for group D waste, Recyclables; VI. CCDA-GD-ORG = Environmental credit for group D, Organic waste; VII. CCDA-GE-PER = Environmental credit for group E waste, sharps; VIII. CCDA-GETE = Environmental credit for Group A waste, Group D waste and Group E waste, for the generation of thermal or electrical energy.

[0061] For 1 CCDA it is equivalent to 1 kilo of waste transported and treated within the standards of RDC / 222, ANVISA.

[0062] The suggested initial value of each type of CCDA in the system implementation is equal to 25% of the total cost determined in the period, as demonstrated in the item for calculating the cost of waste management at the generator. In the table in Figure 21, 25% was applied to the cost of each waste group for the month of January / 23, exemplified in Figure 20, arriving at the selling price of each CCDA (selling price of environmental credits).

[0063] Since waste management costs can vary monthly, the selling price of credits will follow suit.

[0064] The CCDA will be assessed based on environmental inventories subsequent to the implementation inventory, after the generator has implemented some action to reduce environmental impacts. The progress will always be compared with the implementation environmental inventory, as demonstrated in the points calculation section.

[0065] In the example in Figure 22, there was an 8% improvement in the environmental efficiency of waste management. In the table in Figure 22, 8% was applied to the selling price of each CCDA (selling price of environmental credits), presented in Figure 21 and demonstrated in Figure 19.

[0066] Based on this calculation, the actual value of the CCDA receives an increase of the aforementioned 8% over the initial inventory value. And so on for each inventory.

[0067] A space will be made available for each supplier to offer additional values ​​to environmental credits due to improvements in environmental efficiency.

[0068] Figure 23 shows a second inventory comparison, which resulted in a 15% increase in environmental impacts, which will be applied to the sales price calculated in the initial inventory.

[0069] Based on this information, this supplier in the hospital segment exemplified would have available its share of the total volume of waste in a given generator, as shown in Figure 24 - which demonstrates the update of the sale price of the CCDAs on the initial inventory, as shown in Figure 23.

[0070] Suppliers in the hospital segment will have access to the system to consult their credits, monitor the evolution of the environmental impact of the products they sell in each generator and also purchase environmental credits.

[0071] After purchase, the system issues a charge for the service and a certificate of the credits acquired.

[0072] In the supplier's exclusive environment, a list of environmental credits generated by customer for each closing month will be displayed, according to the contracts in effect in the administrator's environment. From this view, the supplier purchases the credits, and the administrator and customer jointly issue the credit certificate, stating the quantity and origin, along with the service invoice and the corresponding charge.

[0073] All waste that is recycled, composted or energetically recycled in a closed cycle, that is, within the client's own premises, reducing the environmental impact, which will be demonstrated through a comparison between the route before and after implementation, as well as the best possible use, is entitled to generate environmental credit.

[0074] It is important to emphasize that the figures and description provided are not intended to limit the ways of executing the inventive concept proposed herein, but rather, to illustrate and make understandable the conceptual innovations revealed in this solution. Therefore, the descriptions and images should be interpreted in an illustrative and non-limiting manner, and there may be other equivalent or analogous ways of implementing the inventive concept disclosed herein that do not escape the spectrum of protection outlined in the proposed solution.
