Closing material loops in the health tech sector


Details of the Challenge:
Idea generation and solution search via Open Innovation for two subtopics:
A) Take-back logistics for existing health-tech products.
B) Design of future, circular health-tech products
We go in search of answers to questions:
-
What a circular model might look like
-
how the closing of the loops could be handled logistically,
-
which partners would be needed for the concrete implementation,
-
what legal hurdles would have to be overcome,
-
how future products would have to be designed, to make closing the loops easier,
-
how solutions could be developed across sectors or by merging several companies,
-
in which areas there is a need for research?
The following ideas received the funding for testing:
ProofX - Traceable Sustainability
Go Circular in Life Science - Collaboration Plattform
