Our product sustainability journey
Umano Medical, we prioritize reducing our environmental impact at every stage of our product lifecycle. Here are just some of our product sustainability initiatives:
Superior lifespan: Each product has a superior lifespan of 10 to 15 years, outlasting our competitors and significantly reducing overall waste.
Compliance with RoHS, REACH and others applicable regulations: We ensure that our product development process avoids hazardous substances and lessens our ecological impact.
Transition to digital platforms: All our product-related documentation and marketing materials are now available digitally. This initiative cuts down on paper use and makes essential information readily accessible via QR codes directly from our beds.
Innovative packaging solutions: which are designed to withstand numerous cycles and support multiple uses.
By implementing these measures, Umano Medical is setting a precedent for responsibility and sustainability in the medical equipment industry.
Our infrastructure and equipment improvement journey
Umano Medical is actively enhancing our infrastructure and equipment to further reduce our carbon impact significantly. A key upgrade includes the installation of an advanced heat recovery system in our L'Islet facility, which reutilizes operational heat for building warmth, slashing one of our primary sources of direct emissions.
In a further move to cut greenhouse gases, we replaced our gasoline shuttles with plug-in hybrid vehicles starting in 2022.
We've also made significant advancements in our manufacturing processes by incorporating state-of-the-art painting technology. This new system drastically reduces the use of hazardous materials and eliminates volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
What’s more: our recent constructions use eco-energetic insulating materials, further decreasing both greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.
Our daily eco-friendly operations journey
Responsible waste management at Umano Medical is key. We have implemented selective sorting at our sites. This includes the collection of food waste for composting.
We partner with local businesses to recycle materials that cannot be reused, such as cardboard, steel, and other residual materials. These are transformed into new products, promoting a circular economy Surplus wood from our operations is offered to employees for personal use.
Moreover, we actively reduce single-use products by encouraging the use of reusable cups and utensils across our facilities. Used batteries and other electronic equipment are collected by specialized companies so they are properly recycled.
