The Sustainable Design and Manufacture for Medical Devices course will cover:
Part 1 - Background
- Introduction to the seminar and objectives:
- What are you aiming to achieve from this seminar?
- Focus: Where does sustainable design and manufacture fit into the overall “sustainability” picture?
- What are the drivers for sustainability in YOUR industry / organisation? What are the barriers?
- What has your organisation done so far and why? Did it work? If not, why not?
- Takeaways
Part 2 - Understanding How to Move Forward
- Stakeholders in sustainable design and manufacture
- Risks – organisational, technical, regulatory and market
- Understanding the synergy between design, manufacture and remanufacture
- Q & A
Part 3 - Planning Change
- Appetite for change – selling the idea, getting stakeholders on board and assessing future market acceptance / demands
- Understanding the benefits – how sustainability can add value to your organisation and your products
- Sharing the vision and getting commitment / support
- Understanding risk – acknowledging that this is new ground and identifying what you don’t know you don’t know
- Planning phased implementation – disruptive change and how to manage it
- Feasibility analysis – the answer to the question “should we adopt sustainable manufacture” - might be no!
Part 4 - Implementing Change
- Where to start – design, manufacture, remanufacture or all three?
- How to “do” sustainable design. How have others done it? What can we learn? How suitable is it for medical?
- How to implement a recovery and remanufacturing loop. What can we learn from other industries?
- What external forces exist and how do we address them?
- Where to find support and how to keep the regulators happy
- Starting small and working up – balancing risk with manageable rates of progress and measuring success
- Scaling up, managing expectations and finding the optimum rate of change

Reviews of IPI's Sustainable Design and Manufacture for Medical Devices training course
The speaker was passionate and knowledgeable about his work. The content was good, although tailored more to the beginner in sustainability. The presentation was good, slides were manageable (not too wordy etc). The regulatory and case studies were interesting, as well as remanufacturing.
