Description
Eppendorf not only focuses on the development of new products but also on new, more environmentally friendly manufacturing materials. For the first time, we are in a position to offer a generation of Eppendorf Tubes® with screw caps in 5.0 mL, 15 mL, 25 mL and 50 mL made of a certified polypropylene based on renewable reused raw materials.
Product Highlights - Eppendorf Production Center in Oldenburg / Germany complies with the requirements of the certification system ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification)
- ACT labeled (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) – Environmental Impact Factor Certification initiated by My Green Lab®
- Tubes* are made from 90% renewable-based feedstock (recycled e.g. from food oil wastes and residues) plus 10% fossil-based feedstock (applying ISCC mass balance approach)
- General Quality Certificates / Compliance with Standards are available separately for Eppendorf Tubes® BioBased
- Product-specific and lot-specific purity certificates as well as an ISCC sustainability declaration for Eppendorf Tubes® BioBased
