Product and packaging recycling
Greiner Bio-One always aims to minimize the materials used in our products and packaging and to enable easy recycling. Components that are easily separable and consist of 100% of the same material are valuable raw materials and should therefore be recycled separately.
Ultimately, therefore, you can help prevent packaging and products from ending up in landfill or being incinerated by taking them to a suitable recycling system after use, provided they are free from hazardous contamination.
To make this easier for you, we have listed the materials & recycling codes of some of our products and their packaging below.
Recycling - Serological Pipettes
The pipettes are made of 100% polystyrene (PS) and the filters of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).
Packaging - Serological Pipettes
