Sustainable Science: How Biobased Plastic is Transforming the Laboratory

In the last decade, sustainability has gone from being an option to becoming a necessity within research environments. Laboratories generate a considerable amount of plastic waste, but Eppendorf is leading the charge towards a greener future with its new line of BioBased consumables.


What does it really mean for plastic to be "biobased"?

Unlike conventional plastics derived from petroleum, biobased products are manufactured from renewable and reused resources . In the case of Eppendorf, 100% bio-based polypropylene is used . This means that the raw material comes from vegetable sources, helping to close the carbon cycle and reducing dependence on fossil fuels without compromising the technical quality that the laboratory requires.

54% reduction: Less plastic, more efficiency

One of the biggest successes in this range is the redesign of its supply systems. For example, epT.IPS® BioBased pipette tips in soil are sustainable due to their material, as well as their shape:

  • The refill system allows you to use 54% less plastic compared to traditional methods.
  • They are available in volumes up to 1,250 µL and in different qualities such as Dualfilter and SealMax® .

A real impact on the carbon wall

The use of consumables such as Eppendorf Tubes® BioBased and Deepwell BioBased Plates allows institutions to significantly reduce their carbon footprint. By choosing products manufactured with clean energy and renewable materials, the laboratory contributes directly to global sustainable development objectives, maintaining the maximum quality and purity (pyrogen-free, DNasas and RNasas) necessary for accurate results. biobased Proquinorte tubes
