🌍 Sustainability at Our Practice
Caring for your pets and the planet
We believe that looking after animals goes hand in hand with caring for the environment.
Every decision we make, from how we manage waste to how we deliver anaesthesia, is an opportunity to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Like all healthcare settings, veterinary practices can produce significant waste and rely on energy-intensive equipment. That’s why we’re committed to reducing, reusing, and recycling wherever possible,
while continuing to deliver the highest standards of care for your pets.
♻️ Responsible Waste Management & Recycling
At Kingdom Veterinary Clinic, we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint and promoting sustainable practices. We recycle paper, cardboard, plastics, and packaging materials to minimise the amount of waste sent to landfill.
We also take part in specialist recycling schemes for items that can’t go into standard household recycling, such as printer cartridges and batteries.
All clinical waste is handled by licensed providers to ensure it’s processed safely and responsibly.
Clients are also welcome to return any unused or expired medications to us for safe disposal.
đź’¨ Low-Flow Anaesthesia: Safer for Pets, Better for the Environment
In our surgical suite, we’ve adopted low-flow anaesthesia techniques using advanced circle breathing systems.
These systems reduce the amount of anaesthetic gas required during procedures, helping us lower our environmental impact while ensuring your pet remains safe and comfortable under anaesthesia.
Volatile anaesthetic agents are potent greenhouse gases. By carefully monitoring gas flow and maintaining our equipment, we can significantly reduce the amount released into the atmosphere small changes that make a big difference over time.
🌱 Reducing Single-Use Plastics
Wherever possible, we’re replacing disposable items with reusable alternatives.
We also stock biodegradable poo bags and eco-conscious cleaning products, and have switched to recycled paper goods throughout the practice.
While some single-use items are still necessary for infection control and patient safety, we continually review our supplies to find more sustainable options as they become available.
✨ Always Improving
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We’re always exploring new ways to reduce our impact, whether by sourcing local suppliers, cutting down on deliveries, or engaging our team in eco-friendly initiatives.
If you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can continue improving, we’d love to hear them.
Together, we can create a cleaner, greener future for everyone, pets and people included.
Together, we care for pets and the planet, one small step at a time.
