Eco-design principles

In Technolution our sustainability efforts are deeply founded in the 6 eco-design principles. The eco-design principles focus on integrating environmental considerations into product design and development to reduce the environmental footprint throughout the entire product life cycle. This approach emphasizes minimizing resource consumption, reducing waste, and considering the product’s impact from sourcing materials to disposal or recycling.

But why using Eco-design principles? By adopting these principles, we believe that businesses can create more sustainable products, reduce costs through resource efficiency, and meet the growing consumer and regulatory demands for sustainability.

 

Minimize Material Consumption:

Design the device to use the least amount of materials possible without compromising safety or functionality. This reduces waste and the overall environmental footprint during production and end-of-life.

 

Minimize Energy Consumption:

Ensure that the manufacturing process and the device’s operation require minimal energy, whether it’s a single-use or reusable device. This can also include energy-efficient sterilization or maintenance methods.

 

Select Low Impact Resources:

Use materials that are biocompatible, non-toxic, and recyclable. For medical devices, this means selecting resources that meet health and safety standards while reducing environmental impact.

 

Optimize Product Lifetime:

Design the medical device to last longer, especially for reusable devices. This reduces the need for frequent replacements and ensures consistent performance while lowering waste and costs over time.

 

Extend Material Lifespan:
Choose durable materials that can be reused or recycled after the device’s lifecycle is over. This is particularly important for devices that require multiple components, ensuring that materials don’t become waste too quickly.

 

Facilitate Disassembly:
Make the device easy to take apart for repair, sterilization, or recycling. This is vital for reusable medical devices, ensuring components can be replaced or serviced to extend the device’s life and reduce waste.
