Header: NewGen Surgical Surpasses 10 Million Products Used Worldwide, Driving Measurable Environmental Impact
San Rafael, CA — July 10, 2025 NewGen Surgical, Inc. today announced a major milestone in its mission to transform healthcare sustainability: more than 10 million NewGen Surgical products have now been used in healthcare settings around the world. This achievement reflects widespread adoption of the company’s biobased, sustainable medical devices as alternatives to conventional plastic disposables.
Since the beginning of the company’s Smart Sustainable Design™ initiative, the use of NewGen Surgical products has helped eliminate nearly 900,000 pounds of plastic waste and contributed to a reduction of approximately 800,000 kilograms of CO₂e emissions across the global healthcare supply chain. These figures underscore the cumulative impact of small procurement decisions on environmental outcomes in clinical operations.
NewGen Surgical’s portfolio includes plant‑based alternatives to traditional single‑use medical products, including basins, trays, needle counters, skin staplers, and other essentials used in surgical and patient care settings. Designed to match the clinical performance of their plastic counterparts while reducing environmental harm, these products support health systems’ efforts to meet sustainability goals without compromising care quality.
“We are proud to see our products adopted at scale by healthcare providers who are committed to reducing environmental impacts,” said a NewGen Surgical spokesperson. “Reaching ten million units used worldwide is a significant validation of our approach — one that demonstrates how sustainable product choices can deliver meaningful environmental benefits.”
This milestone comes amid growing awareness of the environmental footprint of healthcare operations and reflects increasing demand for sustainable solutions that align with both clinical needs and institutional climate commitments.
