Biotix has embraced a comprehensive approach to help minimize plastic waste. One-time use laboratory consumables are essential to scientific research, but we are making them with less plastic and superior quality. Our technique focuses on addressing the issue at its source: by designing and manufacturing products that use less plastic. Our sustainable practices start before products are even manufactured, thereby minimizing the amount of plastic entering the waste stream in the first place.
Reducing how much plastic goes into each product
Our efficient tip designs contain over 30% less plastic than competitor tips. Through our investment in industry-leading engineering and innovation, we are able to offer this low-waste option while still maintaining exceptional quality.
In addition to our success in eliminating waste from our pipette tips, we also offer the lightest pipette tip rack in the world. This rack aligns with our sustainable philosophy while also providing stability and a user-centered function. As this chart illustrates, Biotix is leading the industry by minimizing plastic waste across our product line.

Streamlining manufacturing processes to save resources
Biotix plastics are produced on a new generation of electric and hybrid molding machines that consume 30% less electric than traditional hydraulic systems. This equipment is twice as accurate as traditional hydraulic systems and uses substantially less energy. Adherence to Six Sigma lean programs and premium raw materials result in fewer defects and less waste.
Small change, huge impact
You can save 24,000 pounds of plastic over your career, just based on tip selection. See the stats in our downloadable infographic.
