Our Sustainable Operations

At Daniels, we minimize Greenhouse gases primarily by offering reusable biomedical waste containment systems that minimize a significant amount of energy in the manufacturing, transportation, treatment and disposal of disposable containers.

In our operations across Canada, we continue to implement initiatives that lessen the environmental impact and global warming potential.

Some of our green commitments are:

• Use route optimization software to reduce the fuel consumption of our Canadian delivery fleet

• Prioritize  production companies that have GHG reduction policies (our current injection-moulder is ISO-14001 certified)

• Recycle broken/unusable parts from all our factories (in the last year, we reduced our Production Scrap Rate from 19% to less than 5%)

• Implement energy-saving measures at our offices and factories (e.g., lights off and air-conditioning off, when not required)

• Continuously redesign new machinery and products to use less energy, water and product/material

• Manufacture our product in North America to minimize transport requirements and support local economy

Our new generation robotic washlines:

• Increase water recycling from 60% to 80%
• Use environmentally friendly detergents, efficiently dosed via a controlled system without harmful chemicals
• Reduce the use of  additives through more efficient metering pumps and misting-delivery
• Lower the amount of energy required for hot-water production through the use of plate heat-exchangers
