Watching used lab tip boxes turn into new recycled tip bins within 60 miles of Boston, this is why we do what we do.

The future isn't built by one big action. It's built by thousands of small choices made every day.
This World Environment Day, we're reminded that sustainability is not a destination. It's a commitment to making better choices, one step at a time.

There is something strangely satisfying about watching lab plastic turn into regrind.
These #5 PP lab plastics come into our Littleton facility, get shredded, and become something new that can be reused again.
This is what recycling looks like behind the scenes.

We believe sustainability inside laboratories should be practical, transparent, and circular.
628,825 pounds of lab plastic recycled and counting.

Plastic once felt like the future. Cheap, durable, convenient and everywhere.
But as the world produced more of it, the waste kept growing faster than the systems built to handle it.

Most lab plastic doesn’t get recycled, not because people don’t try.
But because the system doesn’t support it
That’s the gap we’re solving. Contact us for more details.

It’s rarely the big decisions that shape impact. It’s the small ones we repeat every day, the ones we don’t even think about. Maybe that’s where we start.
Today is Earth Day. What’s one small change you’d keep?

When China stopped taking plastic in 2018,
recycling didn’t fail. It got exposed.
We weren’t recycling. We were exporting the problem.
So we built a system that keeps it local. And keeps it circular.

From your benchtop to your benchtop.
Used pipette tip boxes are collected, recycled locally, and turned into new lab products.
This is what circular recycling looks like in practice.
If this is something your lab cares about, we’d love to hear from you.

Most labs don’t notice this.
Tip boxes make up ~75% of plastic waste.
We’re closing the loop locally.

Spring cleaning isn’t just for homes. In labs, plastic builds up quietly. One box at a time. Then suddenly, it’s everywhere.
If you have lab plastic piling up, we can help you sort and pick it up.

Happy Global Recycling Day ♻️
Today is a reminder that recycling isn’t just a habit. It’s a collective act of care for our communities, our neighborhoods, and the planet we all share.

Small lab tasks repeat hundreds of times a day.
With multichannel pipettes, red biohazard bags are often too narrow. Tips miss the bag and create a mess.
This bin solves that small issue.
Made from 100% recycled lab plastics.

Proud to see the next generation tackling the invisible side of plastic pollution. This is the kind of innovation the industry needs.

Boston is a global research hub, and sustainability should grow alongside discovery. We’re proud to support lab teams working to reduce waste and build more circular systems. Great science and responsible operations belong together.

Groundbreaking research shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment.
@MIT Lab Plastics Recycling Program now spans 200 labs and has diverted 274,769 pipette tip boxes. Proof that circular economy principles can work in science, at scale.

With Veolia, we now sterilize and recycle biohazardous pipette tips locally in Massachusetts.
This new service is now available to Veolia customers. Thank you to Molly Cahill and Bob Cappadona of @Veolia_NA, as well as the crucial support from Steve Powell of @MassBio.

ESG reporting is stronger when it shows real, measurable impact.
Hyperlocal recycling keeps plastic close, turns it into products scientists use, and closes the loop within a 60-mile radius. It adds a clear, practical action to your reporting.
