How to Effectively Communicate Your Hospital Recycling Program's Successes and Lessons Learned

Communication is vital in sharing your successes and challenges, and in keeping key stakeholders engaged in your hospital’s plastics recycling program. In developing a communication plan, consider what information you want to convey, the target audience(s,) both internal and external, and the call to action you want to move people to take, if there is one. These issues are discussed further at the HPRC website.
