The global medical device market has grown increasingly over the years and is projected to hit a staggering US$800 billion by the year 2030. This massive growth in the industry, which is undoubtedly due to its strategic importance in healthcare, comes at a substantial cost to the environment. With environmental sustainability becoming an increasingly important topic in the world today, the environmental impact of the device industry has come under more scrutiny, prompting slight changes in regulations which factor in these concerns.
