Circular equipment
Reimagine your circle of care
At Philips, we see huge opportunities to make a difference through innovation, design and sustainability – helping more healthcare providers help more patients, in a sustainable way, and empowering more people to take care of their health and well-being. The link between human health and environmental health is central to sustainable healthcare. It's all about delivering quality care to those who need it when they need it, while reducing environmental impact.
Our commitment to a circular economy
Our approach to sustainability and a circular economy touches more than materials and recycling. By optimizing and maximizing the lifetime value of our products and solutions during use, offering high-quality pre-owned medical equipment, recovering used parts and recycling responsibly, we can reduce waste, emissions and the extraction of finite resources.
Our ambition is to help our customers to ‘do more with less materials’. We do this through circular product design, smart digital solutions and innovative service models, as we continue to scale up our portfolio of refurbished and pre-owned solutions. Our aim is to help you address your most pressing challenges, such as cost of care, staff shortages and growing health disparities, while at the same time reducing your environmental impact.
A true testament to this ambition is our Circular Equipment portfolio which comprises two ranges of medical systems: Circular Edition refurbished systems, and Select Edition pre-owned, Philips-tested and inspected systems. Available at attractive pricing compared to similar new Philips systems, Philips Circular Equipment offers the quality and performance that you expect from Philips, without the carbon footprint that comes from buying brand new.
With aging populations and growing waiting lists squeezing healthcare budgets, we understand that spending your way out of the situation isn’t always possible due to budget constraints. We can help you bring your ambitions closer to your budget with high-quality circular equipment that will support your diagnostic challenges at an attractive price. A smart choice that will also have a positive impact on your carbon footprint. It’s time to reimagine your circle of care.

Driving sustainable healthcare
For people to be truly healthy, they need a healthy world to live in. The environmental impact that healthcare has on our planet is significant and, if we want to continue to care for patients in the best way possible, we need to treat our planet the same way patients are treated. As a global leader in health technology, Philips is committed to reducing healthcare’s environmental impact. Our ambition is to help our healthcare customers ‘do more with less’. We do this by applying our circularity principles – use less, use longer, use again – across the value chain. This approach helps to maximize value of products across multiple lifecycles while minimizing waste, emissions and the extraction of finite resources.
