About Us
Aved is a Drug Preparation Premises (DPP) inspected by the Ontario College of Pharmacists. As one of only a handful of DPP facilities in Ontario, we are able to produce and prepare drug preparations without the need for prescriptions. We provide specialty preparations to hospitals, medical clinics and other patient care centres (including pharmacies).
Environmental Sustainability
At Aved, we recognize that responsible healthcare delivery includes minimizing environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety, sterility assurance, and regulatory compliance.
As a Drug Preparation Premises specializing in sterile ophthalmic preparations, our operational decisions prioritize product integrity and patient safety. Within that framework, we are committed to implementing practical and measurable environmental stewardship initiatives across our operations.
Our Commitment
Reducing Transportation-Related Emissions
We prioritize ground-based distribution where feasible and utilize reusable, validated cold-chain shipping systems to reduce reliance on single-use insulated shippers and disposable cooling materials.
Minimizing
Packaging Waste
We employ packaging strategies that reduce material use and shipment volume while maintaining sterile barrier integrity and product stability. Flexible sterile barrier systems and optimized shipment density help reduce overall material consumption.
Supporting Responsible Supply Chain Practices
We prioritize Canadian-based sourcing and regulated distribution channels to support supply chain transparency and reduce unnecessary international freight.
Maintaining Regulatory and Environmental Compliance
We comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and integrate environmental considerations into operational decision-making where feasible and appropriate.
Continuous Improvement
Environmental sustainability in sterile pharmaceutical services must always be balanced with patient safety and regulatory requirements. Aved is committed to continuous evaluation of opportunities to reduce environmental impact without compromising product quality, sterility assurance, or clinical effectiveness.
