How can large installed systems benefit from Going Circular?
In this episode, Patrick Lerou, Global Lead & Reclaim Trade at Philips, a leading health technology company, shares how he and his team are changing the business game, because that's what legends do to leave their mark.
The team typically intervenes at a moment when their customers want to replace a system, ranging from Ultrasound to CT Scans, from MRI to Operating Rooms. Not at the end-of-life, but at the end-of-use for that customer. Creating new value from the systems for other customers.
Learn how this pays off in multiple ways by listening to Patrick and get inspired to create value from your 2nd, 3rd and 4th user, while lowering your environmental impact.
