Problem
Research and development labs in biotechnology, chemistry, and healthcare generate millions of tons of single-use plastic waste annually, contributing to a significant environmental burden through incineration or landfill disposal. These labs face increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices and reduce their carbon footprint.
Solution
Phoenix Impact offers a recovery and reconditioning service for single-use plastic laboratory consumables, enabling research labs to reduce their plastic waste by over 80%. The service involves retrieving used consumables, employing innovative and environmentally friendly cleaning and sterilization processes, and conducting rigorous quality assurance testing to ensure the reconditioned items are free of contaminants and meet required standards. Reconditioned consumables are then returned to the lab for reuse, and at the end of their life cycle, the plastics are prepared for recycling. For large organizations, Phoenix Impact offers a high-throughput consumables cleaning machine to facilitate in-house reconditioning.
