SUSTAINAMED : PIONEERING SUSTAINABILITY IN MEDTECH CONFERENCE

The SUSTAINAMED Conference addresses the rising concern over environmental impact and regulatory demands; notably underscored by the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Manufacturers are keen on minimizing the ecological footprint by integrating sustainable materials; refining manufacturing methods; and optimizing waste management. Innovation drives energy efficiency and resource conservation. Heightened consumer awareness spurs companies to prioritize sustainability in product development. The conference; featuring informative presentations; live Q&As; and interactive fireside sessions; convenes stakeholders from medical device companies; Notified bodies; and hospitals. Topics span sustainability guidelines; financial viability strategies; and circularity initiatives. Medical Device Manufacturers in Europe collaborate to enhance Medical Device product sustainability by sharing best practices; tackling life cycle impact risks; and promoting circularity; especially in packaging and supply chains. Challenges persist in aligning regulatory compliance; patient safety; and recyclability objectives.
