AMD & the Environment

AMD has a passion for alternative health care and more specifically detoxification. We also feel this passion for the environment. While we encourage people to keep themselves clean on the inside, we feel we must all help to keep the environment on this planet clean, as well. AMD strives to do its share by recycling office paper and cardboard, using packaging materials that are recyclable and non-hazardous, and promoting cleaning agents that are non-toxic and biodegradable. AMD's commitment to the environment starts with its owners. Two of AMD's owners drive hybrid cars as a means to cut down on emissions. 

Recycling

We strive to have as little negative impact on the environment as possible, and we feel that recycling, and providing the opportunity for our surrounding businesses to recycle, is a great demonstration of this commitment.

Packaging materials

Packing and shipping materials are a costly expenditure each month for AMD. We ship out hundreds, if not thousands, of ionic foot bath and accessory packages each month to customers all over the world. We purchase boxes that are comprised of post-consumer materials, and have recently found ways to decrease box sizes. We use biodegradable peanuts (made from corn) as opposed to petroleum-based polystyrene peanuts that can take hundreds or even a thousand years to biodegrade. Additionally, the corn-made peanuts replace 80% of our need for traditional bubble wrap (also made from petroleum-based plastics). While the biodegradable peanuts are more expensive, we feel compelled to use this method of packaging to do our part in preserving a clean environment.

Cleaning agents

Let's face it, "detoxifying the planet two feet at a time™" is a dirty job. With thousands of foot baths performed each month, a lot of arrays need to be cleaned. AMD continues to support Solutions-4-You, a small company in South Carolina that sells products that are 100% non-toxic, 100% biodegradable, and not tested on animals. Their Ultra-Safe Commercial Cleanser is provided with every ionic foot bath purchase so that our customers can see just how effective a completely natural cleaner can be. This product for our foot detoxification machines is also made in the USA and also helps to promote our own economy.

AMD is in business to make money and to serve mankind, which includes protecting the environment. We are willing to absorb the added costs of doing business in a way that reflects our values.
