Sustainable Shipping Practices

Boxes and Styrofoam Shipping Containers

To minimize waste, we ship some of our orders in previously used cardboard boxes and Styrofoam shipping containers. These containers are thoroughly tested for durability to ensure your order arrives intact. By reusing materials, we conserve natural resources, reduce shipping waste, and keep our costs low savings we pass on to you. Enjoy the dual benefits of saving the Earth and saving money with every order.

Our Product Sustainability Initiatives

We're proud to offer a range of eco-friendly laboratory supplies designed to minimize environmental impact without compromising quality.

T-GEN Biodegradable Gloves

Eco Protective Technology (EPT):

An additive in T-GEN gloves enhances decomposition in microbial environments, promoting safe breakdown in landfills and contributing to sustainability without sacrificing quality.

Efficient Packaging:

Each box contains 200 gloves instead of the standard 100, reducing natural resource use, fuel consumption, and waste.

Drosophila Fly Vial Reloads

Recyclable RPET Plates:

Our vial stacking plates are made from recyclable PET (RPET), easily incorporated into any recycling program.

Polystyrene Clarity:

These vials offer glass-like clarity for excellent visibility and are a cost-effective, safe alternative to glass vials.

Olympus Tip Reloads

Reduced Plastic Use:

Our reloads use 68% less plastic compared to traditional racked pipet tips.

Eco-Friendly Racks:

Our tip racks use 61% less plastic than competitors’ racks, and our recyclable racks reduce global Styrofoam consumption by 130kg per year.

Recycling Program:

Customers can contact their Genesee sales representative to collect and recirculate empty pipet racks.

S-GEN Nitrile Gloves

Renewable Energy Production:

Manufactured in a facility using 100% wood chip biomass, these gloves help reduce carbon footprints significantly.
