At Castless, sustainability is not just a goal – it’s a core principle because Earth is our main shareholder.

We are committed to revolutionizing the orthopedic cast industry by addressing one of its most significant environmental challenges: waste. Traditional plaster and fiberglass casts contribute over 324,000 tons of waste annually – the equivalent weight of 64,800 elephants. Each traditional cast generates more than 600g of waste, leading to 1.8 kg of waste per patient over their healing journey.
Our innovative, reusable orthopedic casts eliminate this waste, drastically reducing the environmental footprint of orthopedic care. Made from advanced, durable and potentially recyclable materials, our casts can be sterilized and reused multiple times, significantly lowering the demand for raw materials and the volume of medical waste. This aligns with global sustainability goals and addresses the urgent need for eco-friendly medical solutions.

Our production processes are designed to minimize energy consumption and emissions, ensuring that our operations are as green as our products. By integrating advanced 4D printing technology, we streamline the manufacturing process, reduce waste and enhance efficiency. This not only benefits the environment but also offers substantial cost savings for healthcare providers by reducing the need for disposable casts and associated waste management expenses.
Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our products to our entire business strategy. We will be building a culture of environmental stewardship within our company, advocating for sustainable practices in the healthcare industry and partnering with stakeholders who share our vision of a greener future.
By positioning ourselves at the forefront of sustainable innovation in orthopedic care, Castless is set to lead the market with products that offer superior patient comfort, significant environmental benefits and operational efficiencies.
This strategic focus on sustainability not only differentiates us from competitors but also ensures that we contribute positively to global environmental goals while meeting the growing demand for sustainable healthcare solutions. Our reusable casts represent a paradigm shift in medical waste management, making a lasting impact on both the healthcare industry and the planet.
