Details
The environmental impact of products stem not only from their manufacture, but also from their disposal. In England, there is a national policy promoting increased circularity in medtech through the Design for Life programme. This acknowledges the problem of large volumes of items being discarded after single-use and the need to preserve the value of products for as long as possible.
