What does the engraved text „Rack body made of 100% recycled material” on the epT.I.P.S. ® Rack mean?

Eppendorf has started to produce the Racks in which the pipette tips (epT.I.P.S. ® pipette tips, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® pipette filter tips, and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® SealMax ® pipette filter tips) are available from recyclate: All Racks with the engraving are made from 100 % post-consumer recyclate (PCR), which refers to materials that have been collected, recycled, and repurposed. This process helps to reduce waste and the consumption of virgin materials, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production cycle.

Do epT.I.P.S. ® Racks with a Rack body made of 100% recycled material have different properties than standard Racks?

No. The material change for the disposable Rack does not affect the purity, sterility, autoclavability or stability of the Racks themselves or the within packed epT.I.P.S. ® pipette tips, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® pipette filter tips, and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® SealMax ® pipette filter tips. There is also no change in form, fit or function. As product item numbers remain identical and no changes to the product quality exists, no further actions are required by you, our customer. This is also confirmed by lot-specific and quality certificates.

Can epT.I.P.S. ® Racks with a Rack body made of 100% recycled material be recycled?

Yes. Racks made of 100% recycled Polypropylene can be handled and recycled in the same way as racks made of virgin Polypropylene. Please check with your local biosafety/sustainability/waste management regarding local standards and requirements as the Racks can be contaminated.

What material are epT.I.P.S. ® Racks with a body made of 100% recycled material made of?

The Racks are made of 100% recycled polypropylene. The recycled polypropylene used is post-consumer recyclate (PCR) from the industry and is collected exclusively from contact lens production waste. The so-called "single source" collection of pure polypropylene from the production of medical products ensures that the recyclate retains the purity and integrity required for the production of laboratory consumables. Full traceability of the recyclate and the conformity of the processes to EN 15343:2007 is confirmed by our suppliers.

epT.I.P.S.BioBased 移液吸头及包装材料处置

材料回收目前已变得日益重要。以欧洲为例，硬纸板几乎已实现100 %全部回收。epT.I.P.S.BioBased移液吸头包装由不同材料制成，其中绝大部分为硬纸板。
在Eppendorf 耗材包括epT.I.P.S. BioBased移液吸头的包装材料中，运输纸箱至少含有37 %的再生纸板，而折叠纸盒则至少含有60 %的再生纸板。
请收集离心管纸板包装材料，以实际行动支持回收有价值原材料的全球可持续发展倡议。请将收集的包装材料放到所在组织和地区指定的回收容器内。
使用后，吸头本身被定义为可能被污染。这种污染可能导致生物危害、化学危害，甚至是核危害。因此，回收这些吸头具有挑战性。多国法律规定，危险废物必须焚烧处理。不过，对已污染的实验室耗材进行热能回收处理，还可回收其中产生的能量和热量。
为减少危险塑料废物产生量，应至少准备两个废物箱：一个用于放置危险废物，一个用于放置非危险废物。两类废物的具体定义取决于当地法规，应在实验室进行相应宣传/培训。如需了解当地废物回收方案的更多信息，请联系当地生物安全官和废物管理机构。
强烈建议选择经认证的当地回收合作伙伴。保持“本地”处置可减少运输带来的影响，建议您联系“认证”机构，因为处理实验室废物时要满足安全性和可持续性要求。
