Big Science
Smaller Footprint
Sustainable lab products, solutions & services for responsible science
Join us in the mission to ensure a more sustainable future for everyone. Explore our growing portfolio of greener products, programs and services.
Sustainability in chemistry is essential – not only for our company, but also for our customers in research and QC. With our growing portfolio of greener laboratory chemicals, programs and services, we now offer even more ways to practice sustainable science together. Our solutions combine enhanced sustainability with exceptional quality, so they are better for the planet, and for your work. Discover how you, too, can practice big science with a reduced environmental footprint.
Cyrene™ and Cyrene™ Blends
Our innovative Cyrene™ solvent is a green, safer alternative to NMP, DMF, and other harmful solvents. Now, we offer two new Cyrene™ blends that combine highly efficient green solvents to provide even more opportunities for greater, greener applications.
ECO Tween® and ECO Brij® Surfactants
With the new ECO series of surfactants, you have all of the performance benefits of traditional petroleum-based products, but without the ecological drawbacks. These ECO surfactants are made using bio-based ethylene oxide (EO) from biomass ethanol, so they are completely renewable.
Our Progress
From product development to disposal, we ensure sustainable processes for green chemistry. Discover how we integrate sustainable chemistry in every step of our product life cycle.
It starts with Design for Sustainability (DfS), a comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship of our products, which is incorporated at an early stage to ensure that biodegradable reagents and greener alternatives have sustainability at their core.
We also look past the product. Through our SMASH strategy, we’re setting new standards to shrink, secure, switch and save packaging, while still meeting performance and safety requirements. For example, by reducing the weight of our HDPE bottles by just a few grams, we save 120 tons of PE every year.
Even after our products have served their purpose, our commitment to responsible science continues through programs like the our Waste Score, which helps us identify areas where we can accelerate waste reduction, as well as material recovery and recycling.
