assessment

Discover the differences in the collection and disposal of intra-operative fluids using suction canisters vs. Neptune 3.

Calculate your impact

What is Life Cycle Assessment?

A standardized, internationally recognized evaluation method (ISO 14040 and 14044), allowing a multi-criteria and multi-stage environmental assessment of a system over its entire life cycle.

What is the goal of this Life Cycle Assessment?


To compare the environmental impact from end-to-end between Neptune 3 and suction canisters.

This Life Cycle Assessment on the collection and disposal of intra-operative collected fluids using conventional cannisters vs. the Neptune 3 system was conducted by GreenCycl, environmental experts specialised in conducting LCAs in the Netherlands.
