The healthcare sector accounts for 4.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions and generates more than 6 million tons of waste every year. Addressing this challenge requires new ways of delivering care with a significantly lower environmental footprint.

Circular solutions driving more sustainable healthcare
To support healthcare providers in the transition to more sustainable operations, Arjo offers circular solutions across rental, service and reprocessing. Together, these solutions represent nearly half of Arjo’s total business and help healthcare providers in advancing their sustainability efforts through:
- Lower emissions and reduced waste
- Smarter, more effective use of products
- Longer product lifecycles
- Optimized use of resources and materials
- Financial and operational efficiencies
Rental solution
Circular and resource‑efficient care through rental
In Arjo’s rental operations, customers rent the products they need for the period they require. This enables financial efficiency by avoiding capital investment and optimizes resource use, as the same products can serve multiple care units over time. As a result, fewer products need to be manufactured, reducing raw materials use and minimizing waste.
Service solution
Service as a driver of product lifespan
Safe, high-quality products are a hallmark of Arjo. Our products are designed for durability and repairability, ensuring a long lifespan. Through our service operations, we keep products performing reliably throughout their lifecycle.
Whenever possible, and always following strict quality checks, components from retired equipment are reused or sent to recycling. This approach helps prevent waste and reduces the need for new raw materials.
Reprocessing solution
Reinventing medical reprocessing
Medical consumables are essential to healthcare’s daily operations and, at the same time, account for a significant share of its total climate and environmental impact. Arjo ReNu addresses this challenge with a unique, fully water-based process that enables safe reuse of medical consumables. By extending product life, waste is reduced and materials are diverted from landfills, helping healthcare providers move from a linear to a circular supply chain while enabling cost savings and avoiding waste management costs through reduced disposal volumes.
