Sustainability in Product Development

For many Pharma and MedTech companies, creating more sustainable medical devices can seem an overwhelming task. How do we make the right decisions when seeking to lower greenhouse gas emissions and minimize environmental impact from the production of our medical device? What are the processes supporting this goal while still ensuring that the device is safe and effective in the hands of the intended user?

The sustainability engineers at Technolution work with a set of six eco-design principles integrated in our product development model. The principles have been carefully designed to accelerate the development of more sustainable medical devices while complying with regulations and standards. Furthermore, the eco-design principles are applicable at every stage of the development process, making our sustainability engineers able to go from rough to rigorous sustainability assessments as needed.

We are also up to date with newest knowledge on different ways to approach sustainability such as integrating take back systems. Our sustainability engineering specialists can assist your company in embracing the circular economy transition through innovative device designs that align with the take back systems philosophy.

Sustainability engineering is just one of the many in-house expertise areas at Technolution. When our sustainability engineers work on client projects, they collaborate and spar with other experts to ensure that sustainability initiatives support product functionality and compliance, delivering the best results for our clients.
