Prioritizing Ecodesign Principles: A Systematic Approach to Ecodesign

Our Ecodesign paper, sharing our 11 Ecodesign principles for an automated disposable injector device that our member companies identified in a collaborative effort to improve the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of these devices.

Net Zero Requires Circularity

This paper outlines the work of the Alliance to Zero in fostering collaboration between
various players in the self-injection device supply chain in order to achieve a net zero
product offering.

The discussion includes an overview of the current situation, an outline of the
Alliance’s shared Product Carbon Footprint Guideline, detail from the pilot study of the
carbon footprint of a self-injection device conducted by the Alliance to Zero and
evidence of the need for a transition to a circular economy.

PCF Guideline
