Using ground-breaking remanufacturing processes, we extend the product life cycle of medical devices to enable a more sustainable healthcare system. We conserve natural resources, thus protecting the planet. Our remanufacturing processes for catheters generate 50% fewer carbon emissions than the production processes of a new device.
The health sector accounts for 5% of Germany’s raw material consumption
The healthcare sector is responsible for 4.4% of global carbon emissions
The global healthcare industry produces two gigatonnes of CO2 each year
The global healthcare industry’s climate footprint is equivalent to that of 514 coal-fired power plants
71% of the healthcare industry’s emissions derive directly from its supply chain
A new social awareness of the importance of a sustainable and climate neutral economy have ushered in a new era for healthcare. Sustainability will be a crucial criterion for commercial success in the future. The EU’s Green Deal, which plans to reduce EU greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030,will also significantly impact the healthcare sector. The road to a greener healthcare system is signposted by resource efficiency, environmental protection and waste reduction.
As an innovative remanufacturer, we have an essential part to play in the circular economy by making single-use medical devices reusable. Through our advanced remanufacturing processes, we extend the product life cycles of single-use devices and enable a circular economy within the healthcare sector. We reduce the demand for new devices, thereby lowering the environmental impact of the healthcare industry overall. We empower hospitals and clinics to operate in a more sustainable and forward-looking manner.
Medical remanufacturing also reduces the need for the transportation of raw materials from developing countries to original equipment manufacturers. Our remanufacturing processes for catheters generate 50% fewer carbon emissions than the production processes of a new device.
