SUMD Reprocessing Impact Model Report — Cost, Carbon and Material Savings
Set eligible device uses, reprocessing cycles, device mass, new-device price, reprocessed discount and GHG reduction in the Scenario Lab, then export your exact scenario as an infographic PDF.
What's inside
- Your scenario inputs printed in full so results can be reproduced and reviewed
- Headline outputs: new devices potentially displaced, gross procurement saving, device mass retained and estimated avoided emissions
- Plain-language explanation of every input and output for non-specialist readers
- Branded cover page, method notes and a reference list covering the LCA and systematic-review evidence
Who it's for
- Hospital finance and procurement teams building a business case
- Sustainability officers quantifying scope 3 reductions from device reuse
- Researchers and students needing a documented, reproducible scenario
Frequently asked questions
- What does the impact model calculate?
- It estimates how many new devices a reprocessing programme could displace, the gross procurement saving, the device mass kept in use, and the greenhouse-gas emissions avoided, based on the inputs you choose.
- How reliable are the numbers?
- They are scenario estimates, not measured results. Environmental evidence is device-specific and heterogeneous, and a 2026 systematic review rated safety and cost certainty very low. The report states these limitations on its method page.
- What is the default GHG reduction figure?
- The scenario default is a 44 percent illustrative average reduction versus new manufacture. Device-specific life-cycle assessments vary widely, so the value is adjustable.
