State of the art processes eliminate the public health effects and environmental impact of antiquated autoclave and incineration technologies.

Hanstrom says, "We are leading the industry and are at the forefront of environmental stewardship to reduce our carbon footprint." Accepting the award, Hanstrom thanked the City of Aurora and said, "This award is a celebration of joint collaboration, we're all winners." She asked the audience to raise awareness by asking their healthcare providers, dentists, and veterinarians how they dispose of their medical waste. "Tell your family, friends and neighbors about us. The problem won't get fixed if no one knows it's broken." Hanstrom also said, "I was told that medical waste contracts are all about the bottom line. The health of our planet will ultimately affect the quality of our lives. Doesn't that make us the bottom line?"
