Ergéa UK is proud to support the reduction of emissions and minimisation of waste in Diagnostic Imaging, having integrated circular economy principles into its maintenance services since 2002.
Ergéa’s Comprehensive Life Cycle Approach to Diagnostic Imaging Challenges
Historically, diagnostic imaging departments have defaulted to replacing equipment with new when faults arise. However, with the NHS committed to reducing its supply chain emissions – accounting for more than 60% of its total carbon footprint – this model is no longer viable.
In response to this challenge, Ergéa UK has pioneered a comprehensive life cycle approach that prioritises the repair, refurbishment and optimisation of existing diagnostic equipment, helping Trusts to reduce environmental impact while improving financial sustainability.
Sustainable Solutions for Diagnostic Imaging
Ergéa UK’s managed services encompass a wide range of sustainable solutions, including—but not limited to:
- Refurbished ultrasound probes
- MRI coil repairs
- Cosmetic and mechanical repairs across all Original Equipment Manufactures (OEMs)
In the past five years alone, these solutions have helped Ergéa UK’s customers achieve cost savings of over half a million pounds, which translates to a 76% reduction in costs compared to traditional replacement models. At the same time, more than one tonne of equipment waste has been diverted from landfill.
“By extending the lifespan of vital imaging equipment, we’re not only supporting the NHS’s sustainability goals, but helping trusts reinvest in patient care.”
Lakidzani Tambula-Shalten, Head of Diagnostic Imaging Business Line at Ergéa UK & Ireland.
Ergéa’s approach aligns directly with NHS Net Zero ambitions and the wider circular economy agenda in healthcare. Through flexible, scalable repair solutions, trusts can minimise environmental impact while maintaining operational resilience and clinical excellence.
