Introducing Eco-Friendly Safe-Lock Tubes BioBased
The Challenge
Reliance on fossil oil-based plastics in laboratories poses significant environmental concerns. While these materials are essential for high-standard applications, they contribute to sustainability challenges, prompting the need for more eco-friendly alternatives.
The Solution
Introducing the original 'Eppi™'. The Safe-Lock Tubes are now available as Safe-Lock Tubes BioBased, made from certified polypropylene derived from renewable and recycled raw materials. This innovative approach aligns with Eppendorf's commitment to sustainability, offering a new era of bio-based consumables with the same high purity grades as fossil-based products — ensuring no compromise in quality or performance.
The Proof
Eppendorf has conducted a comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to demonstrate the ecological benefits of its BioBased tubes. The analysis reveals substantial reductions in the carbon footprint and offers valuable insights for optimising product life cycles. The tubes are manufactured using 100% green energy, further reinforcing their sustainable production credentials. Eppendorf's ISCC PLUS certification further validates the environmental impact of these products, enabling customers to transition seamlessly to eco-friendly alternatives without affecting their assays or applications.
