Circular concepts for us are regenerative systems, in which resource use, waste production, and emissions are minimized by slowing, reducing, and closing natural resource cycles - this can be achieved through dematerialization, the use of more sustainable raw materials, and a Design for Reuse and Recycling. In our understanding, Circular concepts also include a maximum servicability and durability of products as well as prevention of potential negative environmental and social impacts.
"We have set specific targets and backed them up with clear KPIs and measures, which we will monitor regularly at Eppendorf starting in 2023. This ensures that there are defined persons responsible for achieving the targets and that the progress of defined measures is transparently trackable" – Samira Schroeder, Manager Product Sustainability.
As part of the Eppendorf strategy, we have set ourselves a number of goals for the protection of natural resources and the achievement of SDG 12. Particularly relevant topics for us are the responsible use of our consumables and packaging, for which we have defined concrete targets and measures.

In principle, reduction targets should be compatible with our climate protection goals. What does that mean in practice? For example, that aspects such as the CO2 backpack are taken into account when selecting materials. Regarding material efficiency in consumables, optimization has been conducted for some products. However, there is still potential in the upstream production processes. Thus, we intend to review material flows in production with the aim of further reducing waste volumes and passing on valuable waste materials that are no longer needed to neighboring industries for the manufacture of other products. We also want to

We see great innovation potential for consumables with sample contact in the use of renewable instead of fossil primary raw
materials. Eppendorf has set itself the goal of offering at least one more sustainable product in each consumable's product family by 2028, consisting of biobased materials derived from industrial waste. This principle is already successfully implemented in Eppendorf Tubes® BioBased, epT.I.P.S.® BioBased, and Eppendorf twin.tec® PCR Plates Biobased without any qualitative differences compared to our own fossil-based consumables. For consumables without sample contact, Eppendorf goes one step further and intends to replace at least 30% of the fossil-based primary raw materials by 2028 compared to 2022.

Recycling and reuse of consumables with sample contact is still unthinkable today, at least on a larger scale. For safety reasons, most
of them are still incinerated. However, Eppendorf has set itself certain goals with regard to consumables that do not come into
contact with samples. By 2028, for example, they are to be designed in such a way that 100% of them can flow into public recycling
streams as high-quality secondary raw materials. In addition, we want to introduce take-back and recycling systems for tip racks in
five countries by 2025.
