Voices of Biotech: Healthy people need a healthy planet, says Green Elephant Biotech

Joel Eichmann, the co-founder and managing director of Green Elephant Biotech, discusses sustainable single-use products, the importance of data, and how healthy people need a healthy planet

Eichmann speaks about the firm’s plant-based plastic single-use products and how it is contributing to making the world that little bit greener, despite being told a few years ago the company was ahead of its time. Additionally, the life cycle of the product is discussed, and the conversation evolves to talk about the ecosystem needed to recycle effectively.  

He goes on to bring up an important point about how drugs in the life sciences space are saving lives, however, to reap the full benefit of commercialized medicine, we need to have a healthy planet for the healthy people to live on.
