Over a billion autoinjectors are used every year. Almost all of them are single-use. Almost all of that plastic gets incinerated.
John Palmer-Felgate spent 30 years designing medical devices. At some point, he decided to actually fix the problem.
John is the Founder and CTO of Eco-Inject, a UK startup that has built a sustainable autoinjector from the ground up using 100% bio-based polymers, fewer components, and a completely rethought internal architecture.
Here's what we get into:
Why you can't just swap in sustainable materials and call it a day
How John reduced the device to five simple plastic moldings
Why the production line footprint is a quarter of the current standard
How Eco-Inject achieves a lower cost of goods and better sustainability at the same time
The commercial reality of selling sustainability to pharma procurement
