According to the report from the Swedish Municipalities and the County Council, SKL, 99.2 percent of public transport in the county was in 2018 with renewable fuels. In 2009, that figure was 56 percent. At the same time, the prescription of antibiotics also decreases.
The Kalmar County region is less well off when it comes to the climate impact of medical gases and also waste recycling. There, you end up in the lower tier of the country's regions.
- Next year, I am convinced that the results will be significantly better when it comes to emissions of nitrous oxide. When we installed the Nuclear Gas Destruction Plant last spring, we were among the last regions in the country to do so, says Johanna Schelin, sustainability manager for the region.
In order to deal with the waste issue, according to the region, more stringent requirements will be set when the next procurement is done.
