Local Procurement

Wellell prioritizes local procurement, with approximately 93.8 % of regular suppliers based in Taiwan. In addition to meeting specifications and source restrictions, we comply with international standards like RoHS and REACH. Suppliers must pass relevant tests and provide certifications or affidavits to ensure user safety and minimize environmental impact.

Environmental design

A key feature of modern pressure relief systems is the reduced use of PVC materials, which extends to both the tubing and the entire mattress system. For example, TPU non-tubing mattresses are safe, non-toxic, and free of plasticizers, while also offering excellent shock absorption, making them quiet and comfortable to lie on. This design choice directly responds to current environmental trends and highlights Wellell's commitment to minimizing harmful chemicals and pollutants. 

Enhanced Logistic Efficiency 

By reducing the size of pressure relief systems by nearly 20% and using FSC  and PEFC-certified green packaging, storage efficiency is enhanced, allowing healthcare facilities to better manage inventory and maximize space. Additionally, optimized storage and transportation reduce waste and support sustainability goals.

Growing importance of ESG in healthcare
