There are many challenges in adopting more sustainable materials in the medical technology sector. These materials must meet the same standards as traditional products and pass through rigorous testing, including biocompatibility assessments.

The process of researching, testing and the approval of alternative materials is both time-consuming and costly. The strict requirements for hygiene, safety, and performance in healthcare make it difficult to replace current solutions with greener options.

This brochure presents Neste RE as an enabler to move away from crude oil-based polymers and chemicals without compromising on the quality or safety aspects of healthcare plastics. It's a drop-in replacement for current raw materials, matching the performance of fossil-based materials in safety, quality, and durability.
