YES - the protective bubble packaging used in all our shipments is infinitely recyclable.

♻️ What Does “Infinitely Recyclable” Mean?

The bubble material we use is made from polyethylene, a type of plastic that can be recycled repeatedly without significant degradation in quality. This means it can be reprocessed into new materials again and again, helping reduce waste and support a circular economy.

📦 Why We Use It

We choose this material because it offers:

  • Excellent protection for sensitive lab products during transit
  • Lightweight design, which reduces shipping emissions
  • Recyclability, aligning with our commitment to sustainable packaging practices

🧼 How to Recycle It

  • Curbside recycling: Some local recycling programs accept bubble wrap and similar plastics. Check with your local municipality.
  • Drop-off locations: Many grocery and retail stores have collection bins for plastic films and bubble wrap.
  • Reuse: These materials are also great for reusing in your own lab or office for shipping or storage.

🌱 Our Sustainability Commitment

We continuously evaluate our packaging materials to balance product safety, cost-efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Using recyclable materials is just one part of our broader effort to reduce our environmental footprint.
