Newman and its Commitment to Sustainability: Leading the Way in Green Manufacturing

Newman

Sustainability is no longer an option and has become an obligation for every manufacturer in the modern world. Newman fully realises that and has made sustainability one of the corner points of its business philosophy. Being among the leaders in the pharmaceutical labelling industry, Newman is striving to offer “green” solutions that will satisfy the customer while taking care of the future of the planet. Herein, a closer look at how Newman’s commitment to sustainability makes a difference.

High Governance Standards and Energy-Efficient Machinery

The foundation of Newman’s sustainability approach is its commitment to best-in-class governance principles. Each machine made by Newman is designed for minimum energy usage. Our labelling machines have been developed to be energy-efficient and future-proof by deploying the IE3 premium efficiency three-phase AC motors for powering all moving parts. Usage of these motors guarantee that not more than 4 amps of power is drawn from any of Newman’s labelling machines, ensuring least amount of energy consumption without loss of performance, further contributing to lower CO2 emissions.

Waste Management and Recycling Initiatives

Newman’s commitment to sustainability is further reflected in strong waste management and recycling policies. Everything, from the manufacturing waste to the post-operation label backing paper, is disposed of with a definitive approach to minimise environmental impact. The machines can operate with different types of sustainable label material so that businesses can use biodegradable or compostable labels with water-based inks and adhesives.

All wastes emanating from manufacturing are disposed of through environmentally responsible methods by way of segregation practices and approved contractors for such disposal. Newman further commits to researching renewable energy options, which will contribute to cleaner energy use in the future.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Sustainable Solutions

Newman also integrates the latest vision and interface systems like that require minimum power in operation and deliver maximum efficiency. Equipped with Siemens or Allen Bradley PLC controls and HMIs, the machines function with smoother operation, reducing waste while enhancing operational efficiency. This not only ensures better machine performance but also keeps energy usage at a minimum.

Sustainable Supply Chain and Shipping Practices

Newman extends the sustainability to supply chain and shipping practices. It works in a very close partnership with its vendors and partners in highly involved socially responsible activity. It ensures that raw materials are sourced ethnically and contain recycled content. Through its partnership with FedEx, a global leader in sustainability, Newman is working to minimise the environmental footprint of its packaging and shipping method by emphasising carbon-neutral delivery and reducing plastics and harmful chemicals.

Workplace Sustainability and Staff Training

Complementing their external workplace initiatives, Newman nurtures a corporate culture of sustainability. The company is committed to workplace safety and employee training on environmental issues. Regular training sessions ensure all staff members are updated with best practices in minimising waste, saving energy, and maintaining a safe, environmentally friendly workplace.

Continuous Improvement and Life Cycle Assessment

Newman practices lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement to optimise its manufacturing processes. We periodically conduct life cycle assessments on the machines and production methodologies to lessen environmental impact, from sourcing the raw materials to the product’s ultimate disposal. This commitment makes every step of the production process as green as possible.

Conclusion

Newman’s commitment to sustainability runs way beyond the supply of energy-efficient machinery-from ethical sourcing and waste management through advanced technological processes to responsible shipping. Newman has imbibed its respect for eco-conscious practices in each and every aspect of its enterprise. As the company grew and innovated, the sustainability button was clicked straight on, and all was going to ensure that they met today’s demands without compromising the planet’s future.
