- The base-case Pee-in-Pot testing footprint was estimated at 95 g CO2e, compared with 270 g CO2e for standard-of-care testing. — Clean pulp versus sterile plastic for mid-stream urine collection: a paired equivalence study comparing the microbiological performance of a novel low carbon collection device with the standard of care
- All modelled scenarios found lower greenhouse gas emissions for Pee-in-Pot testing than for sterile plastic testing. — Clean pulp versus sterile plastic for mid-stream urine collection: a paired equivalence study comparing the microbiological performance of a novel low carbon collection device with the standard of care
- The carbon footprint assessment used a process-based life-cycle assessment aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Standard. — Clean pulp versus sterile plastic for mid-stream urine collection: a paired equivalence study comparing the microbiological performance of a novel low carbon collection device with the standard of care
- The authors estimated that UK adoption of the Pee-in-Pot for microscopy and culture could save about 349 tonnes CO2e annually. — Clean pulp versus sterile plastic for mid-stream urine collection: a paired equivalence study comparing the microbiological performance of a novel low carbon collection device with the standard of care
