VÊPRES , the organizer of this day of discussion, sought to bring together the entire ecosystem around a strong conviction: the environmental transition of the medical device industry requires a cross-sectoral vision and concrete solutions.

Bringing together three leading organizations: pooling the sector’s expertise

To provide a comprehensive response to the challenges facing manufacturers, VÊPRES has spearheaded an unprecedented collaboration among three major institutional players with which the company has deep-rooted ties:

• ASPEC (Association of Cleanrooms and Controlled Environments), of which VÊPRES is a member, with Alexandre Deletraz, Director of Business Development, serving on the association’s board of directors,
• POLYVIA (the trade association for the French plastics and composites industry), of which VÊPRES is a member,
• SNITEM (National Union of the Medical Technology Industry).

By bringing together the perspectives of these three complementary organizations, this event offers a unique approach that bridges the gap between materials, medical regulatory requirements, and the management of ultra-clean environments.

cleanroom : Getting to the Heart of the Matter—Balancing High Technology and Sustainability

cleanroom —a highly controlled environment—is essential for the manufacture of certain medical devices, particularly implantable or sterile ones. By making this the focus of the afternoon’s discussions, the speakers will address a key issue in industrial performance: how can these high-tech facilities be upgraded to more energy-efficient models without ever compromising safety or compliance?

Energy savings: A Key Factor in Competitiveness

Against the backdrop of rising energy costs, energy efficiency is an economic issue. Roundtable 1 will directly address the expectations of executives and site managers: How can companies achieve 30% to 50% energy savings in their cleanroom ? Through practical case studies and real-world experience, the event will offer actionable strategies for reducing the carbon footprint while strengthening the competitiveness of companies in the industry.

Join us on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, in Lyon to exchange ideas, share best practices, and take action together at the Polyvia building, which is hosting us for the day.
