Innovating with impact

Sustainability starts with smart design. We integrate environmental responsibility into every aspect of our products—from how they’re made to how they’re used and disposed of. Our Greener by design program drives this vision, promoting energy-efficient lab equipment, low-waste consumables, and responsible packaging. To support confident decision-making, we pair these innovations with trusted certifications like ACT labels and ISCC PLUS. Together, these efforts empower laboratories to lower their environmental footprint without compromising performance or quality.

Greener by design

 

We are committed to rethinking how we design, manufacture, and package our products. Our goal is to transition from linear processes to a circular economy, where we minimize waste and keep materials in use, whether as finished products, components, or raw materials. This initiative is part of our Greener by design program, which focuses on five key impact areas:

 


Less hazardous


Less waste


More energy efficient 


Responsibly packaged

 

Extended life

Sustainable Certifications

The ACT Label


Laboratory products with ACT labels provide transparent, third-party verified environmental impact data across categories like energy use, water consumption, packaging, and end-of-life disposal. These labels empower labs to make informed, sustainable purchasing decisions based on measurable criteria.

Energy Star certification

Certified cold storage meets strict energy efficiency standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, helping labs reduce power consumption without sacrificing performance. These independently certified products contribute to lower operating costs and a smaller environmental footprint. Explore our ULT freezers that meet the new ENERGY STAR 2.0 criteria.

 

TSX Universal Series

TSX Core Series

ISCC Plus certification


Ensures that lab plastics are sourced through sustainable, traceable supply chains using bio-based or circular feedstocks. This certification supports the transition to lower-carbon materials while maintaining the same high-performance standards.
