Cleaner energy systems could substantially reduce sterilisation impact. Autoclaving contributed more to the carbon footprint than wash and disinfection. Electricity use was the dominant driver of sterilisation emissions. Sterilisation dominated freshwater eutrophication mainly because of reverse osmosis water use in wash and disinfection equipment. Sterilisation contributed 10.9 kg CO2e, or 18% of the total THR carbon footprint.
