Greentech.LIVE: Julian from BioVox and the Path to Sustainable Medical Technology

At the Greentech.LIVE conference, Julian Lotz from BioVox, a company associated with Signify at the Health Innovation Port (HIP) in Hamburg, talks about sustainable medical technology.

In the interview, Julian explains how BioVox works with sustainable solutions in the healthcare sector. The journey began with the Philips Health Innovation Board Innovation Award, where BioVox was recognized for its sustainable approaches.

The Challenge of Plastic Use in Healthcare

Julian describes the challenge of plastic use in healthcare. Disposable products such as plastic packaging and devices often end up as hazardous waste because they cannot be recycled. However, BioVox offers bio-based plastics that emit significantly less CO2 and are recyclable, while meeting all medical safety requirements.

Collaborative Efforts for a Sustainable Healthcare Industry

The company works closely with the entire value chain, from production to disposal, to ensure a sustainable solution across the entire life cycle of medical devices. Julian emphasizes that sustainable materials also make economic sense, as they can provide companies with competitive advantages and more favorable loans.

BioVox shows that sustainability and innovation in healthcare can go hand in hand – and that the change is both environmentally and economically rewarding.
