Sustainable: Pipettes with the ACT® Label

SIMON PLATE Lab Academy

Sustainability is one of our core themes for the future; this includes prudent allocation of resources within the life cycles of our products. In this context, the Eppendorf Research® plus single-channel pipettes with variable volume were the first laboratory pipettes ever to be certified with the “ACT” Environmental Impact Factor Label by the non-profit organization “My Green Lab®”.

This article appeared first in BioNews, Eppendorf’s customer magazine since 1993.

Through evaluation of Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency – ACT – in the areas of manufacturing, energy consumption, water consumption, packaging, and disposal, the ACT label supports and simplifies the selection of more sustainable products. Designated ACT products are individually tested by the Sustainability Management & Strategy Collaborative (SMSC), a consulting firm in the area of sustainability, and published by My Green Lab.

Sustainably manufactured, highly ergonomic, and durable

Research plus pipettes are manufactured in a modern production facility which operates with 100 % renewable energy. In collaboration with parts suppliers, reusable packaging systems are employed, and the proportion of recycled material used for the packaging of pipettes is consistently increasing. With innovative features such as spring-loaded cones for easy attachment of the tip, as well as an ergonomic, light design, the Research plus pipettes support healthy working conditions in the laboratory. With regular cleaning and maintenance, they can serve scientists for years to come.

Soon also available in a 6-pack

The first pipette ever to be certified with an ACT label will soon also be available as a 6-pack at an attractive special price. The perfect set: with all common single-channel volume variants, matching tips, and a practical pipette carousel that saves space while keeping pipettes organized, safe from contamination and ready for use.
