USA Scientific supports your efforts to improve sustainability in the lab. To assist with USA Scientific ACT Chartthese efforts, they are gradually transforming TipOne into a more eco-friendly product without compromising the pipette tips you and your work depend on. TipOne Refills and Filter Tip Refills will now include recycled material in their packaging. While refills have consistently reduced up to 63% of the polypropylene required with traditional filter tip products, the packaging on these refills now contains recycled material, further reducing plastic waste. The TipOne production facility is proud to operate entirely on 100% wind energy.

Purchasing tips to reduce your plastic waste further:

You can also consider stacked tips as an alternative to individual racks. Filter tip users can now save plastic by choosing sterile tip refill cassettes.

All TipOne packaging components can be recycled in accordance with their recycling codes on their labels.
