We believe that innovating to help people live healthier lives also means finding viable ways to reduce our footprint. So we have embarked on our Blue Planet program, approaching the issue from several different angles:
Paper

• reusing and recycling boxes
• opting for boxes made from recycled materials
• using sustainably managed paper for marketing communications materials
• using recycled shipping containers (50-60% recycled and recyclable)

Landfill

• we use biodegradable packing material – no more Styrofoam peanuts

Plastics

• completely eliminated the use of bisphenol-A plastics
• opted for high-density poly-ethylene, which is 95% recyclable

Energy

• “flick off” our operating systems when not in use
• opted for energy-efficient lighting
• Douglas Laboratories new symbol of sustainability
