Posted on 05.06.2025

On 20 May 2025, the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) hosted a symposium on the environmental impact of laboratory medicine at EuroMedLab Conference. MedTech Europe was delighted to engage in the panel debate chaired by EFLM’s Tomris Ozben and Professor Anetor (Nigeria) to present key sustainability trends, challenges and opportunities from the perspective of EU MedTech.

Further speakers shared their insights on a pilot study on assessing the implementation of sustainable practices in laboratories and latest development in the sphere of bioplastics as a possible alternative to conventional single use plastics in medical laboratories.

Advancing green labs is an agreed collaboration area for EFLM and MedTech Europe. The conference offered an excellent opportunity for a deep dive dialogue on latest sustainable practices in laboratories.
