ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Baxa Corporation is committed to manufacturing operations that minimize the opportunity for environmental harm and support sustainable resources. As a provider to the healthcare market, we strive to choose the most efficient materials for our products – those which have the greatest potential for patient safety and clinical efficacy and the least potential for adverse environmental impact.

Operations
Baxa Corporation strives to address environmental impact in all of its operations – whether they are manufacturing or office activities. The company adopted lean manufacturing practices in 1999 to reduce manufacturing waste and streamline receiving, assembly, packaging and shipping activities. Continuous improvement programs ensure that all processes are continually examined and updated to ensure that we are eliminating unnecessary activities, which reduces energy consumption, optimizing product packaging to reduce cost and waste, and addressing all current regulatory and customer-driven requirements.

The Baxa manufacturing plant, built in 2002, represents the state-of-the-art for efficiency in lighting, air handling and process control. Baxa manufacturing processes do not consume water and the company has a recycling policy for all supplies, such as paper, cardboard and plastic, that can be reused and/or recycled.

Materials of Construction
The materials used in producing and packaging Baxa disposable products meet all market requirements for form, fit and function, and are chosen for the least impact on the environment when they are burned or disposed. Most of Baxa Corporation’s products also meet the stringent disposal requirements for the European Union (note that a few products are not sold in the EU, but still meet applicable requirements). The company’s products incorporate recycling codes wherever possible.

Packaging
When products are designed, the company chooses the least-dense packaging configurations that meet customer and market needs in order to reduce unnecessary waste. Every opportunity is taken to consolidate shipments to reduce the cost and energy consumption for transportation to wholesaler partners or direct customers. To minimize waste, Baxa products are packaged in the most convenient volumes for customer usage. However, we also make every effort to provide products in bulk containers that minimize unnecessary packaging and offer low-cost alternatives to traditional product packaging. While most of Baxa Corporation’s products are disposable, we repair and recycle all of our hardware and equipment and reuse shipping pallets and other materials wherever possible.

Office Transactions
Baxa Corporation adopted electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions many years ago to provide efficient order processing with minimal paper. Wherever possible, we encourage and support our trading partners in using electronic ordering vs. fax, phone and other paperless transactions. Internal troubleshooting and reporting programs are software-driven and designed to minimize paper support wherever possible. In addition, Baxa endeavors to use the best means possible to enable customer transactions and supports GHX, Broadlane, Neoforma and similar initiatives to streamline healthcare purchasing.

Use of Recycled Materials
Wherever practical, Baxa Corporation uses recycled paper in its office, marketing and sales support activities. The company’s Web site offers product manuals, instructions for use and other technical and marketing information in electronic format to reduce customer reliance on paper documents. In addition, the company supports an active recycling program for office paper and waste, as well as shipping cartons and other materials.
