Often specified by architects Pharmacy Medical are becoming the preferred supplier to many large corporate and medical establishments.
Most recently they have further emphasised their commitment to quality though gaining the ISO9001 standard for quality. ISO9001 is the internationally recognised standard for managing business quality. ISO9001 is based on a number of principles that go hand in hand with good business practice. These include focusing on customers, and doing things systematically and continuously looking for ways to improve.
Environmental
Pharmacy Medical have always considered the environmental impact of their products and production processes. Ever investing in new technologies they aim to keep their footprint as low as possible.
Products
Pharmacy Medical manufacture all their products from metal. This is a recyclable material and results in a product that can be widely recycled. For example, Pharmacy Medicals controlled drugs cabinets are 100% recyclable (excluding packaging). Furthermore, all parts of the manufacturing process are designed and processed to minimise the amount of waste created. Any steel waste is also recycled.
General waste and recycling
Pharmacy Medical employ Veolia to dispose of their general wate and recycling. All waste within the company is categorised into general and recyclable and split into the appropriate bins for disposal. All Veolia sites are accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
Solar power
Pharmacy Medical have a dedicated array of photovoltaic cells on the roof of their powder coating building. These cells produce much of the electricity needed by the company in an average work day.
New Technology
The installation of a new fibre laser cutter has significantly reduced the power requirements of the company. So much so, new electricity contracts were needed to be negotiated on its installation.
Painting
The powder coating process is the most resource hungry process on site. The gas oven is roughly the size of a single decker buss and needs to be kept at just below 200 degrees to cure the paint. Pharmacy Medical have been able to significantly reduce the amount of gas used by keeping the oven serviced regularly and managing the times at which the oven is on. Rather than having it on all day, it is now only on when required. This has significantly reduced the companies gas requirement.
Transport
Pharmacy Medical use a fleet of their own vehicles, combined with DPD, Palletways and a same day courier company for deliveries. Most goods are delivered by DPD. We use DPD for many reasons, however their environmental push to green vehicles is a big factor. DPD hoping to build the largest all-electric delivery fleet in the UK. They have over 1500 electric vehicles operating throughout England, Scotland and Wales, and are continuing growth and investment in these vehicles to deliver all electric on the streets of our cities.
Other areas
Utilising LED lighting through the business and recycling process heat to heat the building, Pharmacy Medical are trying the upmost to reduce any wastage where possible.
