Medtech as an important player in driving the decarbonization of healthcare
Share:
Dive into MedTech’s role in healthcare decarbonization, discovering circular economy strategies, innovative practices, and practical insights for proactive manufacturers.
Reduce
begins with an assessment of current practices
Reuse & Reprocessing
requires specific technical skills for remanufacturing, such as expertise in reverse engineering and logistics
Recycle
involves collaboration between manufacturers, healthcare providers and regulators
Recover
is the current practice to minimize environmental impact, but should be systematically challenged.
If the global health care sector would be a country it would be the 5th largest emitter of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
55Mt
of healthcare-related emissions worldwide
75%
of the health care emissions stem from the supply chain
The increasing European sustainability regulations will lead to more transformational pressure towards GHG emission reduction at the MedTech manufacturer and their customers. A CE can provide pathways to a less emitting future.
