AMD is passionate about alternative healthcare and, most particularly, about detoxification. We are also passionate about the environment. While we encourage people to stay clean on the inside, we believe that we all have a part to play in keeping this planet’s environment clean. AMD strives to do its part by recycling all suitable materials, using recyclable and non-hazardous packaging materials, and favoring non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products.

Recycling

Since early 2007, AMD has rented a three-yard recycling dumpster for itself and the surrounding business buildings. The dumpster is emptied twice a week and is always full before collection. Through this dumpster, we are able to recycle all cardboard, mixed office paper, glass and even most plastic containers. Aside from the ionic foot baths we receive in trade-ins, there is not much left to send to landfill, and even the units we take back are broken down for parts and decomposed into recyclable components.

We strive to have as little negative impact on the environment as possible, and we believe that recycling, and giving our neighbors the opportunity to recycle, is a great way to demonstrate this commitment.

Packaging materials

Packaging and shipping materials are a costly expense every month for AMD. We ship hundreds, even thousands, of packages each month to customers around the world. We buy boxes made from post-consumer materials and have recently found ways to reduce box sizes. We use biodegradable peanuts (made from corn) rather than petroleum-based polystyrene peanuts, which can take hundreds or even thousands of years to biodegrade. In addition, the corn-based peanuts replace 80% of our need for traditional bubble wrap (also made from petroleum-based plastics). Although biodegradable peanuts are more expensive, we feel compelled to use this packaging method to help preserve the environment.

Philosophy

AMD is in the business of serving humanity, which includes protecting the environment. We are willing to absorb the additional costs of running our business in a way that reflects our values.
