Global pharmaceutical provider Origin has announced a new environmental positioning policy which it says is aimed at ‘redefining sustainability standards’ within the healthcare and lifestyle sectors.
Melton-based Origin and its brands Lifestyle Packaging and DiD – cater to the demands of the healthcare and lifestyle industries, with design, product development, regulatory compliance, testing, production and managed supply.
Key highlights of Origin’s new Environmental Positioning Policy include details on how the company is prioritising recyclability by using glass, plastic, cardboard and paper in ways that meet stringent patient safety and sustainability criteria.
Meanwhile, it outlines its commitment to the continuous evaluation of optimal packaging design and maintaining its dedication to meeting industry-leading environmental standards through certification and compliance.
Additionally, efforts in onshoring activities and managed supply chains will focus on reducing emissions, while measures will be taken to limit energy consumption internally, through waste generation and the continued education of Origin’s workforce on sustainable practices.
Keith Wade, managing director, said: “Our dedication to sustainability is unwavering. We believe a thoughtful policy, centred on eco-friendly principles and long-term sustainability, will yield the greatest benefits for our stakeholders and the environment alike.”
