Circular Economy in Healthcare: such an important topic with a lot of potential for reduction and circular solutions!

"Switch off the lights - get empowered for Earth" On Saturday the 23rd  March 2024, 20:30-21:30 it is once again time for #EarthHour.   The Green Labs community within the AstraZeneca BioVentureHub will show our commitment for a sustainable future.   In addition to our Green Lab energy-saving activities that we currently undertake within our labs, such as cleaning out the freezers/fridges, unplugging electrical devices when not in use, and setting the right temperatures, we will also focus on energy savings at home, including: - Turning off lights and electricity when not in use - Only using dishwashers and laundry machines when you have a full load - Air-drying/hang-drying your laundry instead of using the drying machine And... why not eat vegetarian for your 23rd dinner? It may sound like the simplest thing on earth... but it has no effect if we don't do it. Our AstraZeneca R&D site in Gothenburg will, of course, follow that good example by turning off the lights in time.   So why don't you follow the good example and also influence your circle of colleagues, friends and family to do the same! We can all contribute in some way. We will – will you?

The roadmap to net zero emissions for medtech companies goes through strategic supplier collaborations and innovative end-of-life solutions. With about 70 percent of the medtech industry’s total emissions reduction achievable at net-zero cost, the imperative for action is clear. https://lnkd.in/e9qhF383

Carlos Reinoso, Director General of European Tissue Symposium, will share insights on promoting sustainability at the intersection of economic, political, and regulatory frameworks. Based on ETS gathered knowledge, the tissue industry is faced with the opportunity to define sustainability as a priority, coordinate actions to promote political traction, and collaborate as a solution-oriented industry. 📍Where: Tissue Planet - Future Insights™ | Lucca, Italy 📅 When: 18 June 2024 | 15:30-16:00 Main Stage Tissue Planet - Future Insights™ brings together the world's leading tissue producers and the technology supply chain industries to improve the environmental impact of the entire production line. Tissue Planet - Future Insights™ is an event organized by Toscotec, intended for tissue players across the globe and accessible by invitation only. A choice made to foster a more focused discussion environment, facilitate the engagement of the participants, and create authentic synergies. Following the event, the main insights that emerged will be made available. https://lnkd.in/dHdTf3sD #tissueplanet  #toscotec  #tissueplanetfutureinsights

Earth Day’s 2024 theme, ‘Planet vs. Plastics’, is a call to urgently reduce the use of plastics with the ultimate goal of building a plastic-free future for generations to come. Over the years, we have implemented circular solutions allowing to save hundreds of tons of plastics every year across Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany's Healthcare value chain. And we are continuously taking action to save more! Such solutions are made possible through a combination of: ▪️ Science & technology, to find alternative materials, equipment, and processes to reduce the use of plastics while always ensuring the integrity of our medicines. ▪️ Partnership, working hand in hand with a broad range of stakeholders including suppliers, health authorities, healthcare practitioners, patients, and also peer companies. ▪️ Last but certainly not least, employees, with their ideas and commitment to be part of the solution! As an example among many, here are three key solutions we are implementing to minimize the use of plastics associated with our Fertility injection pens. More examples are available in our global parent company's Sustainability Report 2023: http://ms.spr.ly/6040YGDP4 #EarthDay
