CirculaR economy for small Medical devices (ReMed)

ReMed project is a collaborative research programme between Loughborough University and University of Leeds and aim to create novel design and material specifications, reprocessing technologies, and digital tools to demonstrate the technical, economic, and operational viability in the UK of circular lifecycles for small Medical Devices (MDs). 


Case studies of four products, serving as reference models, will be utilised to generate new knowledge that can be applied within similar product families. The widescale application of project results has the huge potential for societal impact via cost- and resource-savings for the NHS and creation of high-skill jobs within the recovery and reprocessing value chain of small MDs.
