With a focus on hygiene products, we will hear from our speakers about the development of sustainable medical textiles, including the importance of designing to current legislation and the challenges with life-cycle chemicals ;  

We will discuss themes from HCWH Europe’s recent report The role of chemistry in sustainable medical textiles, in which we emphasise the importance of addressing the chemistry in medical textiles and offer recommendations to different stakeholders to move towards sustainable medical textiles. We will also learn more about the development of sustainable medical textiles and share how healthcare institutions can use the European healthcare’s phase-out list for chemicals of concern to accelerate the phase-out of harmful substances from medical textile procurement.

In this webinar we will:

• Share experiences and expert knowledge on medical textiles and the chemistry behind them
• Increase participants’ awareness on chemicals of concern commonly used in medical textiles
• Encourage hospitals and healthcare providers to phase out these chemicals in their
