Medical devices account for almost a quarter of a hospital’s greenhouse gas emissions. How can we make them more sustainable?
Medical Grade Bioplastics
for a livable world
You have highest standards when it comes to plastics? With BIOVOX bioplastics, you can now use raw materials in demanding applications that are naturally renewable, fully degradable, recyclable and ready for circular economy. Tailored functionalization offers you added value and competitive advantages. This benefits health and the environment.
And this is how you make your health care, lab and food production products sustainably economical. Safe bioplastics according to ISO 13485 and ISO 10993.
Developing sustainable products is a complex task, especially when it is done for a highly regulated environment.
Our team brings know-how from plastics technology, medical technology, life cycle assessment (LCA) and product development. Thus, we support you from the initial idea to market monitoring. And where our core competencies end, we can draw on a broad network from the fields of research and healthcare - from contract processors to university hospitals.
Together we make your application sustainable and ready for circular economy.
BIOVOX bioplastic compounds made from renewable raw materials save up to 85% carbon compared to fossil plastics.
As long as the plastic remains in the technosphere, it serves as a carbon sink. When the renewable materials are incinerated, little or no fossil carbon is released into the atmosphere. Our raw materials are produced under Bon Sucro or ISCC+ certification.
To improve this even further, we are working with partners on recycling systems that will make the material cycle even shorter and the CO2 balance even better in the medium term. Depending on your requirements, you can rely on chemical recycling or mechanical recycling with us. This is how we make circular economy possible for health care.
Many of our materials are also biodegradable. This helps prevent persistent microplastic emissions. In non-degradable, conventional plastics, these particles damage the environment over a very long time and also enter the human organism. On average, we consume as much plastic with our food as there is in a credit card - every week.
Our experts explain this and much more in the BioWiki!
