ENKORE is a European project led by a multidisciplinary consortium of 39 partners (plus 13 industry affiliates) from 15 EU countries, as well as the UK and the USA. Our main objective is to develop an ecoDesign framework that facilitates the creation of medical devices and packaging that are both safe and environmentally responsible—reducing carbon footprints and optimising resource use. By connecting the design phase to the end-of-life stage, we ensure circularity technologies are integrated right from the outset, without compromising on the strict safety and biocompatibility standards required by the healthcare sector.
