Many companies say sustainability matters, but only a few treat it as part of their strategy. One of them is Ambu, a global MedTech company and the market leader in single-use endoscopy. In this episode, Casper Venbjerg Hansen, Senior Director, Sustainability, Public Affairs, Risk and Compliance at Ambu A/S, explains how sustainability guides their decisions and why Ambu committed to it early.
Casper walks through Ambu’s long history with sustainability, including why they redesigned their endoscopes in 2009 to make future recycling possible. He shares how sustainability became strategic in 2022 when hospitals began asking for better environmental performance.
We talk about single-use and reusable systems, the real footprint of reprocessing, and why raw materials drive a large part of emissions. Casper also explains how Ambu introduced bioplastics across all endoscope categories, how their takeback and recycling program works, and what it means to design for circularity from the start.
If you want a practical look at how sustainability becomes a business advantage, this episode gives you a clear introduction.
