Environmental Management System
Medical Products Research decided to observe the voluntary standard UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 and implement an Environmental Management System, in order to improve all the company activities that can have impact on the environment.
The Environmental Management System (EMS) has the task of ensuring, through Planning, Implementation, Control and its direct Action, an excellent management of the company activities with environmental impact. Thus, any opportunities are exploited for the future of the company, in accordance with the process of "continuous improvement" enshrined in the international standard and with the Environmental Policy of Medical Products Research.
OUR COMMITMENT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The objectives that we propose include the identification of significant environmental impact aspects (related to the production activity and the product), their consideration in the development of future projects, the respect of rules and laws that involve the company processes from an environmental point of view and the adoption of a "green" attitude that reduces waste and safeguards the environment. Our commitment is expressed in the reduction of raw materials and energy used, in the recovery of waste materials and in the study of the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle.
Our photovoltaic system represents a significant step in our sustainability mission. Made up of 228 solar panels of 235 Watt Peak (Wp), it is capable of generating a nominal power of 52.44 kilowatt peak (KWp). This means that we can produce clean energy in significant quantities, contributing to the reduction of harmful emissions into the environment.
In 2023 we took a significant step forward, equipping ourselves with 3 high-efficiency inverters, which allow us to maximize the performance of our photovoltaic system. According to PVGIS data, we can project an annual production of 57,800 kilowatt hours per year (KWh/y), equivalent to 1,102 KWh/KWp. This energy production allows us to avoid the release into the environment of:
- 10.35 tonnes of oil equivalent.
- 25,520 kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO2).
- 86.74 kilograms of nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Not only do we cover our entire energy needs with the energy generated by this plant, but our surplus of clean energy is fed into the electricity grid. This approach creates a virtuous circle, allowing the community to benefit from the clean, renewable energy we produce. Every watt hour shared represents a step towards a more sustainable future, with medium and long-term benefits for all of us.
We are proud of our contributions to protecting the environment and creating sustainable energy for our community. By joining forces, we can build a better world for future generations.

Atmospheric emissions and water discharges are other priorities in respect of the environment:
the company does not cause emissions in the air during production, while the use of water resources is very limited.The reduction of waste produced is one of the main objectives that Medical Products Research has set itself. To this end, the company carries out careful recycling and limits office waste, through the use of recycled stationery material, eco-friendly material for the catering service and low-consumption components for the lighting. The impact of packaging on the environment is also limited by avoiding the use of mixed material packaging, so that paper and plastic are always separable.
The environmental responsibilities of Medical Products Research are extended to all levels and are disseminated both to the internal staff and to the collaborators and distributors of the company, through both the specific awareness campaign and directly to the users of the products, by the user manuals of medical devices.
