The 2024 edition of the annual Klinergie Magazine by the viamedica foundation has been published, and Vanguard AG is honored to contribute once again. In our article, “Greener Medical Technology: Remanufacturing vs. Recycling,” we explore the significant differences between medical remanufacturing and traditional recycling. We emphasize how remanufacturing not only supports environmental sustainability but also offers a practical and eco-friendly solution for hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Our article focuses on the key principles of the circular economy, explaining how medical remanufacturing reduces the ecological footprint of medical devices without compromising their safety or performance. This approach helps conserve valuable resources and leads to substantial cost savings for healthcare institutions.

To learn more about how the medical technology sector can embrace sustainable practices to benefit the environment, read our full article in the 2024 Klinergie Magazine.

Additionally, we are proud to support the viamedica foundation throughout the year as a funding partner. The foundation’s “Climate Savers – Life Savers” initiative assists healthcare facilities in reducing their climate impact and working toward long-term sustainability. More details about our collaboration and shared goals can be found here.
