Our approach: rapid prototyping of the take-back service
Milani led the company's interdisciplinary team through a structured innovation process. Together, we developed first concrete solutions for a take-back service that brings back the disposable products and recovers valuable materials for possible recycling. One of the challenges was to anticipate and incorporate future technological developments, regulatory requirements and trends. It was also important to create the right incentives for pharmaceutical customers and users, especially patients and healthcare professionals.
We analyzed the current product system, identified stakeholder needs and uncovered innovation potentials in the context of the circular economy. Using rapid prototyping, we were able to quickly test the developed solutions with pharmaceutical customers, implementation partners, doctors and patients. Our methodical approach enabled us to quickly identify key challenges and optimize the take-back service to meet both regulatory requirements and the needs of patients and healthcare professionals.
