Phillips-Medisize - Menomonie's* operations consist of three facilities manufacturing products for the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Environmental activities

The Menomonie campus of Phillips-Medisize maintains an extensive recycling program to reduce its solid waste, encourages its employees to recycle and save energy at home, and reviews all new projects, products and parts for possible emissions and recyclability. The Menomonie campus successfully implemented plastic scrap recycling to reduce amount of plastic going to landfill. They separate many different types of plastics to increase the ability to fully repurpose the plastic scrap. Oaklawn also adopted this practice. As Green Tier participants, Phillips-Medisize utilizes ideas and methods generated by employees to continually improve their environmental performance.
