Market Consultation Report
Find out the results of the Open Market Consultation for the future PreCommercial Procurement of R&D services concerning sustainable personal protection against pathogens in the health care context.
CONTEXT
The current use of single-use face masks in healthcare settings has brought to light a pressing concern: their lack of sustainability across various dimensions.
Beyond their immediate utility in combating infectious diseases, these masks symbolize broader challenges at the intersection of economics, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship.

Use case
Implementation of a sustainable and effective pathogen protective system in the healthcare context that can replace single use face masks and significantly contribute to waste reduction, environmental sustainability, cost savings, and improved public health outcomes.
