RAUMEDIC Achieves ISCC PLUS Certification for PVC-Focused Medical Tubing Plant

Hochwertige PVC-Schläuche für den medizinischen und (bio)pharmazeutischen Einsatz können nun im spezialisierten Feuchtwanger Werk von RAUMEDIC auf Basis nachhaltiger Materialien hergestellt werden. / High-quality PVC tubing for medical and (bio)pharmaceutical use can now be manufactured based on sustainable materials at RAUMEDIC’s specialized Feuchtwangen facility.

RAUMEDIC has successfully completed the initial audit for an ISCC PLUS certification at its PVC-focused plant in Feuchtwangen, Germany. The certification enables the manufacturing company to produce sustainable PVC medical tubing by replacing fossil-based polymers with bio-attributed alternatives – all while maintaining identical chemical properties and significantly reducing the product carbon footprint.

This milestone builds on the company’s prior ISCC PLUS certification at its Helmbrechts headquarters and strengthens RAUMEDIC’s ability to support their industry partners in sustainability challenges effectively.

Supporting MedTech’s Sustainable Transition Under Growing Regulatory Pressure

Maximilian Hofmann, Sustainability Manager at RAUMEDIC, highlights the importance of this development: “The ISCC PLUS standard guarantees traceability and compliance with strict sustainability criteria across the supply chain. With increasing regulatory pressure from the EU Green Deal affecting medical technology companies worldwide, RAUMEDIC can now also provide sustainable alternatives to PVC-based medical technology components.”

Pioneering Sustainable Custom Material Development

Beyond facilitating a seamless switch from fossil-based PVC to renewable alternatives for customers looking to replace conventional PVC tubing with a chemically identical solution, RAUMEDIC also offers expertise in customized material development. Their in-house materials department develops specialized formulations tailored to specific requirements for medical and pharmaceutical applications.

"Thanks to our in-house compounding capabilities at the Feuchtwangen facility, we mix and optimize raw materials directly on-site. This enables us to develop customer-specific formulations, including ISCC PLUS certified PVC compounds.", says Jessica Pemp, Materials Engineer at RAUMEDIC.
