SBS tube rack bases will be manufactured with more recycled polypropylene
Biotechnology company Azenta Life Sciences has increased its use of recycled polypropylene in its FluidX sample storage consumables range.
“This shift to recycled polypropylene aligns with Azenta’s Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) commitments, creating a more environmentally sustainable product.,” said Azenta global product manager Alexis MacLeod.
“By reducing waste and decreasing reliance on virgin polypropylene, we continue to deliver the high-quality solutions you would expect from Azenta Life Sciences while promoting more environmentally responsible practices and a more sustainable future.”
Beginning January 2025, all SBS tube rack bases will be manufactured with up to 90% recycled polypropylene sourced from repurposed material generated during the production of FluidX sample storage tubes.
This recycled material meets the same quality standards as existing racks. The tubes and racks offer sample audit traceability, allowing sample tracking and data sharing between multiple users, labs, locations and automation capabilities.
