Chronic Hemodialysis produces about 600,00 tons of plastic wastes per year. The Systemic Design is an innovative method to analyse the environmental impact and improvement strategies needed for a friendly planet production hardware supplies, in all field human life, with approach that progressively moved from study lifespan object continuous start new cycles cradle cradle. In medicine, attention still limited, most analyses so far performed regard last part cycle. Aim present was analysis characteristics disposables employed chronic hemodialysis, as tool identifying reduce enviromental discharge costs
