Plastic consumables are necessary to protect your samples and conduct your science. This consumption of single use plastics cannot be avoided, but it can be reduced.
Read on to find out how you can reduce your impact on the planet.
How can I find sustainable tips, racks, and boxes?
The usage of Eppendorf refill systems for pipette tips is a good starting point to reduce the amount of plastic waste. These tips are available either as bulk ware in bags or as a replaceable reload system, which is placed on top of a box. Our boxes are durable and can be autoclaved up to 100 times and a rack up to 10 times, reducing your plastic waste.
There will come more in the future – Alternative production methods and R&D experts do their very best to improve – but it still needs time for consumables based on recycled polymers or biopolymers.
