London, 01 December 2023, (Oilandgaspress): – Neste has joined forces with Eppendorf, a leading manufacturer and supplier of laboratory equipment, to advance the development of lab products made with renewable raw materials. Working together, the strategic partnership made it possible to create a new line of renewable plastic lab consumables: Eppendorf Consumables BioBased. The consumables, e.g. tubes, are manufactured using Neste RE™, a feedstock produced from 100% renewable raw materials, for example used cooking oil. The consumables thereby represent a sustainable choice for labs seeking to reduce their carbon footprint by replacing fossil crude oil in the value chain. The launch of the first products of the new line will significantly contribute to the life science industry’s transition towards a more sustainable future.
The life science industry is a substantial consumer of single-use plastics, and as the world faces growing environmental challenges, Eppendorf and Neste recognize the urgent need for more sustainable solutions. Eppendorf’s BioBased products perform exactly as their renowned fossil oil based plastic consumables, meeting the rigorous specifications required for scientific experiments. The portfolio comprises Eppendorf Tubes® with screw caps plus epT.I.P.S.® BioBased filter pipette tips, made of certified polypropylene based upon renewable raw materials. Neste’s renewable Neste RE feedstock is used to produce the tubes, while the screw caps and pipette tips are made in cooperation with other suppliers. A mass balancing approach is applied to allocate the renewable content to the products.
