As the NHS moves decisively toward net zero, the call for sustainability in the healthcare sector has never been clearer.

But how can MedTech organizations respond with tangible, meaningful action?

Join us for Circularity in Healthcare, a key webinar in BSI’s Healthcare Week 2025 series. Discover how circular economy principles can transform the design, production, and use of medical devices - reducing waste, improving efficiency, and driving long-term value across the sector. In this free session, you’ll learn how modular design, sustainable materials, reuse models, take-back schemes, and smarter procurement can help your organisation meet environmental targets while supporting better outcomes for patients and the healthcare system.

What you'll learn:

  • Sustainable design strategies using modular components and recyclable materials.
  • Ways to extend product life cycles through repair, reuse, leasing, and product-as-a-service models.
  • How to manage end-of-life activities, including take-back schemes, remanufacturing, and recycling.
  • Drivers behind sustainable procurement in healthcare systems.
  • Challenges and opportunities facing MedTech companies, and how standards provide guidance for successful implementation.
