The healthcare system consumes enormous amounts of resources and releases significant amounts of CO2.
The EU is aiming for climate neutrality by 2050. Greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced by up to 2030 percent across Europe by 55. With raw material prices rising and the consequences of climate change becoming ever clearer, the need for action could hardly be greater. In order to present this important topic at the world's largest medical technology fair, the MedTech Cluster Alliance DA-CH is organizing the forum "Sustainability and circular economy in healthcare and medical technology".
