At Medical Wire & Equipment Co. (Bath) Ltd, we’ve always strived to lead in innovation within the medical device industry. But innovation isn’t just about products—it’s about how we operate. That’s why we’ve taken significant steps to make our practices more sustainable, starting with a key change to our packaging.
Zero Tree Packaging: A New Standard
Sustainably managed forests, like those certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), remain essential to the paper and packaging industries. Traditional paper and cardboard rely on cutting down trees and processing them into mulch. This method, while longstanding, has a clear environmental cost. That’s why we’ve invested in alternative fibers that reduce our wood consumption, further reinforcing our commitment to eco-conscious practices. To address this, we’ve adopted Zero Tree Packaging, which eliminates the need for tree-based materials altogether. Instead, we’re utilizing crop waste, such as wheat and sugar cane bagasse, to produce our packaging.
This shift not only reduces the strain on forests but also turns agricultural byproducts—materials that would typically go to waste—into valuable resources. It’s an approach that ensures a circular economy, benefiting both the environment and the industries that generate this waste.
Why It Matters
As sustainability becomes a key consideration for healthcare organisations, we’re here to support you. Our shift to sustainable packaging and our broader green initiatives reflect our dedication to doing what’s right for our customers—and the planet. Together, we can make a difference, one step at a time. By choosing products packaged in crop waste-based materials, you’re supporting an eco-friendly future without sacrificing quality.
At Medical Wire & Equipment Co. (Bath) Ltd, we’re proud to be part of this change. Our switch to crop waste packaging is just one of the many steps we’re taking to reduce our environmental footprint while continuing to deliver the high-standard products you rely on.
