Whitepaper Eco-Balance of Stryker's product made with recycled or bio-based materials compared to fossil counterpart

Stryker redesigned bone implant medical packaging to reduce material use and simplify the production process. Conventional packaging components were replaced with foil-based solutions and reduced labels. LCA results indicate a 38.1% reduction in carbon footprint, mainly driven by lower energy and material requirements. LCC shows a 48% cost reduction per package, highlighting the value of smart design choices in medical packaging.

Abstract

Stryker redesigned bone implant medical packaging to reduce material use and simplify the production process. Conventional packaging components were replaced with foil-based solutions and reduced labels. LCA results indicate a 38.1% reduction in carbon footprint, mainly driven by lower energy and material requirements. LCC shows a 48% cost reduction per package, highlighting the value of smart design choices in medical packaging.
