Boston Scientific Corporation outlined measures to reduce the environmental impact of its medical devices as part of its goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and to cut emissions 50% by 2030. The company said it is expanding the use of digital instructions for use to reduce paper, applying sustainable packaging principles such as reducing material use and increasing recycled content, and exploring recyclable and renewable materials. It also cited a recycling pilot in Germany that recovered about 1,000 single-use imaging devices in 2024 and noted that LithoVue Elite single-use ureteroscope handles are now made primarily with bio-based plastic, with up to 85% attributed to renewably sourced raw materials.
