Eco-design
We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our products, from their manufacture through to disposal.
That’s why we apply an eco-design approach to the product development process.
Our eco-design principles ensure we use fewer, locally sourced, recycled and recyclable resources; work towards extending the lifespan of our devices (maintenance solutions, rental services); and manage the end-of-life of these solutions with a circular economy logic.
We promote eco-design and optimize our products lifecycle:
- Improving our existing ranges,
- Conducting lifecycle assessments for our key ranges,
- Integrating environmental criteria from the product development process.
Today, most of our key ranges are covered by a lifecycle assessment (LCA).
We have identified two major challenges within our product portfolio and have set a new goal by 2034: reducing the use of virgin (non-recycled) plastic per test and the energy consumed per instrument by 25% across all of our product lines.
