Global warming in the Arctic is occurring at a staggering rate of 0.75 °C per decade, while this year humanity's consumption of natural resources surpasses Earth's regenerative capacity by a factor of 1.75. At present, with the increasingly harsh environment, sustainable development has become an increasingly important global issue, protecting the environment is to protect the living environment of human beings , and also the ecological balance of the earth. And what is the relationship between environment and ecology?

Ecosystems are composed of various organisms and the natural environment they depend on, and the environment is the basis for the existence of ecosystems. The interdependent and interactive relationship between organisms and the environment forms a complex ecosystem. The quality of the environment directly affects the stability and sustainable development of the ecosystem. Therefore, protecting the environment has become an important part of maintaining ecological balance.

First, air pollution leads to an increase in harmful substances in the air, which damages the human respiratory system and even threatens life safety. Secondly, water pollution makes many water sources unsuitable for drinking, greatly reduces the number of aquatic organisms, and destroys the balance of the water ecosystem. In addition, soil pollution can lead to poor growth of crops, affect food security, and also cause toxic substances in the soil to enter the food chain, causing harm to human health.

As individuals, we should be aware of the importance of environmental protection and take positive actions to protect the environment. Secondly, enterprises should take the initiative to assume the responsibility of environmental protection, optimize production processes, reduce pollutant emissions, and actively promote green production methods.

And how can we be responsible as suppliers and users of biomedical devices?

According to data analysis, medical equipment commonly use three to ten times more energy than an average household, as refrigerator and freezers, centrifuge, biosafety cabinet which need faster cooling speed, better temperature uniformity, and more stable operation to ensure the safety of the sample, so continuous and higher energy is required. With sustainability at the forefront of public consciousness, green initiatives are becoming increasingly popular in many industries where efficient lab and medical facilities are paramount. Energy conservation and consumption reduction are imperative not only for environmental preservation but also for achieving long-term sustainability. 

Embracing low carbon innovation, Zhongke Meiling are in action

As an esteemed global manufacturer and supplier of comprehensive cold chain solutions, Zhongke Meiling plays an instrumental role in ensuring the utmost safety of pharmaceutical cold chains through its exceptional technical expertise, extensive industry experience, and unwavering spirit of innovation. With over 22 years dedicated to ultra-low temperature and cold chain applications, Zhongke Meiling has been devoted to developing energy-efficient equipment since 2016. In the field of ultra-low temperature storage, we have ISO13485, ISO9001 quality system certificates for quality assurance, ISO14001 environmental management system certificates, ISO45001 occupational health and safety management certificates, ISO27001 information security management system certificates, etc., which greatly help the research and development of auto cascade cooling, cascade cooling, dual cooling hydrocarbon refrigeration technology, which not only improves the refrigeration efficiency, but also reduces power consumption and saves system operating costs, so that the comprehensive energy saving rate can reach 15%~35%, and the lowest energy consumption is 8.7kwh .

At present , a numbers of products have already obtained Energy Star certification as well as other energy-saving and environmentally friendly accreditations. As we all know, energy star symbol is the internationally recognized and trusted mark of high efficiency,and it was established to: reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy. 

How can we be responsible when we use these medical equipment?

From the user's perspective, the following tips can help you implement the sustainable concept.

1. Optimize refrigerator management and store your samples properly

Focus on optimizing refrigerator management, which not only helps save energy but also improves safety. Case studies have shown that inadequate defrosting leads to higher energy consumption, and icing can also damage the seal, allowing cold air to escape or warm air to enter the freezer, thereby compromising sample integrity.

2. Do a good job of sample identification and tracking

Sample inventory management helps shorten the time it takes to open the refrigerator door. If you open the refrigerator for one minute in time, it will take a long time to reach the refrigerator set temperature of -80℃ again.

Initiatives focused on sustainable development, from medical equipment producers and users , let us work together to implement the concept of low-carbon development, and actively cooperate to promote carbon emission reduction and move toward a greener future. 

Beautiful home you and i build together!

Better science, better life!
