Because we desire conservation of resources and a sustainable environment. As a global provider of healthcare products and services, Midmark has a responsibility to wisely manage the resources used in our facilities. Our lean manufacturing practices improve efficiency and reduce waste throughout the manufacturing process. From switching to energy-efficient lighting in plants to recycling scrap metals and improving efficiency of our finishing and powder coating systems, we are committed to continuous improvement. For example, we recently reduced the disposable packaging for our 270 series stool products. As a result, we annually eliminate 19 tons of waste that would have gone to landfills, a reduction of 84% in landfill space.. Over 98% of 270 stool packaging is now recyclable. And, we more than doubled the quantity of stools that can be loaded on a truck for delivery; fewer trucks helps us reduce our carbon footprint. Through projects like this, Midmark can make progress toward lowering our impact on the environment for us to be wise stewards of our planet’s resources.
