JOYinCARE: 70% CO2 Reduction in Healthcare Through Baseline Measurement and LCA
For healthcare concept JOYinCARE, New Economy mapped the environmental impact of products and organisation through a baseline measurement and lifecycle assessment. The analysis showed where design and material choices could reduce CO2 impact significantly without compromising quality.
Context
Healthcare products must meet high standards for safety, hygiene and reliability. That makes sustainability work more complex, but also more important: product choices are repeated at scale and can lock in material and emission patterns.
Approach
The project identified hotspots across product lifecycle stages and translated them into design and procurement opportunities.
New Economy’s role
New Economy carried out the impact analysis and connected LCA results to actionable product improvements.
Outputs
- Baseline measurement
- Lifecycle assessment
- Hotspot analysis
- CO2 reduction opportunities
Why it matters
The project shows how healthcare innovation can reduce environmental impact while maintaining product performance.
