Sustainable product innovation
Innovation is more than just creating better and newer products. It’s also about adapting our product design for sustainable and long-lasting products. That’s why we are changing the way we offer products to you, shifting away from buying a product to having access to a product when you need it. All with the aim to use as little raw material as possible. An example of access through reuse is our Philips Avent breast pump, which can now be rented via Philips website in the Netherlands and via pharmacies in France. Products like breast pumps are typically used for shorter periods of time than many other goods, so enabling reuse via rental can significantly extend product usage.

Sustainable product design, by the numbers
We improved circularity of manufacturing waste in 2022 - to 88.5% within Philips Personal Health business
We continue to increase the amount of materials that we recycle and re-use, while phasing out waste where we can. Recycled waste can be transformed into materials for other products, which reduces our environmental impact.
1300+ consumer replaceable parts and spare parts are available
This allows consumers to keep products longer by exchanging parts or repairing their products via local repair shops.
