Today through constant innovation, strong personal customer service and tremendous value, our goal is to become the dominant force in Healthcare Waste Management throughout the region and beyond. Sustainability Our Commitment to the Environment At Approved our #1 priority is providing environmentally responsible management of all your regulated waste. This means utilizing sustainable waste management methods and technologies. To that end, we take the treatment of your medical waste a few steps further than most. First, we have implemented clean renewable solar energy at each of our treatment facilities. Our newest facility is 100% self-sustaining in addition to producing enough electricity to contribute to the public grid. Approved is doing its part to reduce our footprint on the global environment. We believe that clean, renewable, and sustainable energy is a critical part of a better tomorrow. Next, we operate multiple state-of-the-art treatment facilities utilizing high temperature Autoclave and Roto-clave waste treatment systems. These systems produce no harmful air emissions, compliant with all Federal EPA standards. They are the most environmentally friendly means of medical waste treatment available today. Here is the extra step in our cradle to grave process. Where most medical waste companies send their treated medical waste directly to a landfill, at Approved we send all our treated medical waste to a "waste-to-energy" incinerator for final destruction. This extra step is not necessary, but it is the best management practice available today. Your waste will never reach a landfill. Instead it will provide clean electric energy to neighboring communities. Reducing your impact on our environment. Reducing or minimizing the amount of waste generated by any facility is the best way to manage and mitigate any negative impact on our environment. Therefore, at Approved, we employ reusable sharps systems and reusable bulk containers whenever possible. This reduces or eliminates all disposable sharps container waste along with cardboard waste. Significantly reducing or minimizing the amount of medical waste generated by the healthcare facility. In addition to recycling 100% of the cardboard and Universal waste we collect. At Approved we operate Vecoplan Shredders at each of our facilities. These machines easily reduce sterilized sharps waste down into scrap so it can safely be recycled into raw materials and utilized in manufacturing Industrial products. Finally, we work closely with our clients to learn their specific needs. Provide instruction on proper waste management and implement a program that promotes best management practices for their business. Ensuring cradle to grave environmental stewardship.
