Medline’s greensmart™ is a collection of products that are environmentally friendly (green) and good for your business (smart). At Medline, we constantly look for ways to reduce, reuse and recycle, and we know that you share our concern for the environment. We realised that the greensmart™ program had to include only high-quality, affordable products in order to be successful. So we evaluated our top-selling pack components and developed smart options that conserve energy in manufacturing, use less ingredients and contain recyclable materials. Working together, we can make a world of difference!
