Reducing hospital waste with compostable solutions

In the healthcare sector, efficiency, safety, and sustainability are essential pillars. As a leader in pharmacy automation, we are proud to introduce a significant step toward a greener future with the development of our new compostable clips.

What are compostable clips?

Our compostable clip is a key component of our automated unit dose medication packaging system.
This patented, small cylindrical clip is designed to securely hold together pouches containing individual medications, composing personalized therapy packs ready for patient administration.
This innovative solution ensures medications are organized, accurately dispensed, and delivered to patients in the right combination, at the right dose, and at the right time.

Benefits of compostable clips for healthcare facilities

1. Environmental sustainability:
Compostable clips significantly reduce hospital waste. Unlike traditional plastic clips, they can be disposed of in industrial composting systems, where they fully decompose in just a few months, returning to the earth as organic nutrients. This aligns perfectly with the growing demand for sustainable solutions in healthcare.

2. Safety and reliability:
Our compostable material has undergone rigorous testing to meet the highest standards of safety and quality. These clips perform just as effectively as their traditional counterparts, maintaining integrity until the moment of administration. This ensures safety and precision in medication management.

3. Commitment to social responsibility:
By adopting compostable clips, healthcare facilities showcase their dedication to sustainable practices and social responsibility. This proactive approach enhances their reputation as eco-conscious institutions striving for a greener future.

4. Reduced waste management costs:
Managing hospital waste can be a significant financial burden. Compostable clips help lower these costs by reducing the volume of non-biodegradable waste requiring specialized disposal. This translates to tangible savings for healthcare facilities.

5. Innovation and leadership:
The adoption of compostable materials positions hospitals as pioneers in sustainability and innovation. This commitment can inspire further eco-friendly initiatives across the healthcare supply chain, amplifying the impact of sustainable practices.
