Description

In a context where environmental responsibility, regulatory compliance and sustainable innovation are becoming major drivers for medical device manufacturers and designers, integrating eco-design from the earliest stages of product development is now essential.

This intensive two-day training provides a comprehensive and operational approach to eco-design applied to medical devices, based on the NF X30-264 and ISO 14006  standard. It combines theoretical input, real-life case studies, collaborative workshops and practical tools to help participants understand how to identify environmental levers compatible with regulatory requirements (MDR, ISO 13485), assess real gains and communicate responsibly. This pragmatic approach equips professionals with the skills to structure and promote a relevant eco-design strategy adapted to the constraints of the medical sector.

Domaine : Dispositifs Médicaux
