Policies and Practices 

Sustainable Product Design and Development: 

• Green Chemistry and Engineering: Collaborate with manufacturers to ensure that new products are designed using principles of green chemistry and green engineering, minimizing environmental impact from inception. 
• Biodegradability: Prioritize the development and distribution of products that are biodegradable, supporting the reduction of long-term waste in our ecosystems.
• Resource Efficiency: Commit to products that require fewer resources for production, use, and disposal, ensuring a smaller environmental footprint. 
  100% Recyclable Post-Use Materials: Deliver a diverse range of products crafted from high-purity, medical-grade plastic resins, ensuring they are entirely recyclable after use.  

Sustainable Packaging Solutions: 

• Post-Consumer Recycled Materials: Utilize packaging made from post-consumer recycled polypropylene to lessen dependence on virgin plastic resources. 
• Pipette tip refills: Carry several brands of pipette tip solutions that offer labs an ecological alternative, significantly reducing plastic waste by reusing the largest component in theequation: pipette tip boxes.
• Reusable and Recyclable Packaging: Implement sustainable packaging solutions that are recyclable, and where possible, made from recycled materials. Offer 15 and 50 ml centrifuge tubes in recyclable paper racks, helping eliminate the need for expanded polystyrene racks that are often difficult to recycle.
• Sustainable distribution: Optimize shipping methods to reduce carbon emissions, including the consolidation of shipments and the use of environmentally friendly transportation modes. 

Waste Reduction and Resource Conservation: 

• Reduced Risk and Waste: Promote environmentally friendly packaging solutions and encourage the recycling of packaging materials.
• Energy Efficiency: Strive for energy efficiency in our product offerings and internal operations, reducing our carbon footprint and encouraging our partners and customers to do the same.  
• Internal Environmental practices: Implement internal waste reduction practices, including recycling programs and energy efficiency programs in our offices and distribution centers. 

Continuous Improvement: 

• Customer and Supplier Engagement: Actively engage customers and suppliers in discussions about sustainable practices, encouraging them to align with our commitment to environmental stewardship and fostering collaboration towards shared sustainability goals.
• Performance Monitoring and Goal Setting: Continuously monitor our environmental performance and social impact, setting measurable targets for improvement to ensure ongoing progress towards our sustainability objectives.
