Serious Topics

Circular medical textiles: what opportunities arise from the new European legal requirements? As the only hospital participating in the European Interreg CEMTex project, CHEM is organizing and hosting a thematic seminar dedicated to the impact of the new European framework directive on waste concerning circular medical textiles. This webinar session will examine how evolving legislation influences practices and creates opportunities throughout the value chain for textiles intended for the healthcare sector. We will bring together key perspectives from the following stakeholders: 🏭 Producers – circular opportunities, sustainability, washing cycles and waste management 📝 Eco-design – practical recommendations, information on recyclability and lessons learned from case studies 🏥 Hospitals – implementation, compliance, and management of risks and opportunities in practice
