의료기기 산업의 지속가능한 혁신(2025년)

Biodegradable materials and the circular economy are driving transformational growth in the sustainable medical devices industry

Increasing concerns over sustainability in the healthcare industry, particularly in medical technology (medtech), have necessitated a shift towards greener and more circular practices. The shift towards a green economy entails the use of environmentally friendly materials, technologies, and manufacturing processes throughout the product lifecycle. Similarly, the shift towards a circular economy in medtech involves the reuse of medical devices and materials to minimize waste and extend the use of medical devices for as long as possible. This Frost & Sullivan research focuses on the developments and megatrends around sustainable innovations in medical devices.
