Thermo Fisher Scientific is committed to designing our products with the environment in mind—it’s part of how we enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. We are taking a fresh look at how we make our products and how our customers are using them. By incorporating principles of green chemistry and green engineering into our product design, we are minimizing chemical hazards, increasing reaction efficiency, and minimizing waste. Our greener product alternatives can help advance sustainability in the lab by minimizing the use of hazardous chemicals, minimizing waste and material consumption, and increasing energy efficiency. This not only helps our customers to be more sustainable but also helps improve lab safety and reduces costs.
To make it easy to find our greener product alternatives, we have added a green leaf symbol to product search results and product pages. Wherever possible, we work to provide our customers with sustainable product options with the following features:

Minimizing hazardous materials and hazardous waste in the lab is a win for both safety and the environment. Fewer hazards can lower exposure risk for lab personnel and reduce costs for hazardous waste disposal.
We have rigorously evaluated products to ensure they meet at least one of the following:
Eliminates ethanol and acetic acid, reducing hazardous waste by 120 mL per gel
Alternative to radioisotope labeling
When minimizing waste in your lab, every little bit helps. The products listed below support your work while reducing materials typically bound for a landfill, helping shrink your costs along with your footprint.
We have rigorously evaluated products to ensure they meet at least one of the following:
ProQuantum Immunoassay Kits generate 47–59% less plastic waste than ELISAs and use 230 mL less water per assay, and have 84% less packaging material
From cold storage and instruments to temperature-sensitive chemicals, labs can consume a lot of energy. Our energy-efficient products help power your work and support your sustainability objectives without compromising performance.
We have rigorously evaluated products to ensure they meet at least one of the following:
Use up to 68% less energy than previous models
Use up to 42% less energy than competitive models
Packaging must protect the product inside—but that doesn’t have to mean sacrificing sustainability. We’re finding solutions to reduce packaging, replace non-recyclable materials and ship products at ambient temperatures whenever feasible. Our goals are to give you less packaging waste, maximize packaging recyclability and reduce package size for more efficient shipping and storage in the lab.
We have rigorously evaluated products to ensure they meet at least one of the following:
Through our “Go Ambient” program we have been evaluating whether or not products that currently ship cold could ship ambient. Through rigorous stability and performance analysis, we evaluate whether or not short-duration ambient shipment has any effect on the immediate and long-term product quality. Each year we ship 300,000 fewer EPS coolers and use nearly 2,500 fewer metric tons of refrigerant. This reduces waste for customers and cuts carbon emissions.
We are working to close the loop for products that have reached their end-of-life by partnering and designing for sustainable disposal. Excess instruments and consumables waste don’t have to take up space in your lab or the landfill. We are working to take back or help you recycle what remains.

Laboratories can be big consumers of resources and waste producers, but there are choices you can make everyday to lower your lab’s environmental impact and achieve sustainability stardom. Put your lab practices to the test in the environmental board game where every action has a reaction.
