At the Med-Tech Innovation Expo, in Birmingham, UK, Medical Device Network met with Steve Green, head of design at product development agency Oxford Product Design (OPD) to discuss the crucial aspects of sustainable design and user involvement in the development of medical devices.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is a theme that is becoming increasingly essential for all businesses to know and understand. Over the past five years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of companies conducting voluntary ESG reporting and promoting themselves, their products, and their services as sustainable. The medical device industry faces more regulations than many other industries, which can make it difficult to move into different and more sustainable practices.
