Reduce Single-use Plastics to Improve Sustainability
IonField Systems provides practical solutions to help reduce your plastic footprint.
Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects in the Earth’s environment and is a global problem of increasing importance. The laboratory and health care industries contribute to this problem by the widely accepted single use of plastics, including microplates and pipette tips.
Call to Action
Adopting new protocols that leverage IonField products to reduce and reuse pipette tips and microplates is an important step that you can take today and we are committed to helping our customers achieve their environmental objectives.
Just the Facts
- About 8.3 billion tons of plastic has been produced since the 1950s.
- Only about 9% of this plastic has been recycled, 12% has been burned, and the remaining 79% has ended up in a landfill or the environment.
- Every day, vast amounts of plastic, including pipette tips, microplates, cell flasks, and other items, are used and thrown away after a single use, only to be incinerated or sent to a landfill. This adversely contributes to the high levels of plastic pollution with a negative impact on the environment.
