Our 'greenest' products
Starlab is committed to improving sustainability in science. Our ideas start with our “reduce, reuse, refill, recycle” philosophy for our products.
TipOne® pipette tip system
TipOne® was designed as a plastic-saving pipette tip system. The racks are reusable with the easy to use refill systems. All PP packaging components are recyclable. The redesigned in 2016 had two aims – to update its look, and to save more plastic. Both aims were acheived! TipOne® is made in a factory powered 100% by wind energy and and is a convincingly sustainable pipette tip system which continues to evolve...
ErgoOne® manual pipettes
When it comes to lab waste, pipettes don't usually spring to mind, but pipette spares can contribute to an accumulation of plastic waste. Starlab's ErgoOne® pipettes have a greased system, which means they do not have the seal and o-ring parts that other manufacturers recommend changing annually on their pipettes. Stainless steel tip cones on the ErgoOne® micro models also help prevent accidental breakage of these delicate parts, thus limiting the waste associated with more frequent replacement.
Freezer racking
Freezer racking helps optimise capacity by keeping freezers tidy and maximising storage space for efficient use. Our high quality racking prevents the need for regular repair or exchange and is made with 85% recycled stainless steel. Also, the racks are manufactured in Germany, in a factory powered by 100% sustainable energy. Short journey distance from factory to customer reduces delivery carbon footprint.
GuardOne® workstations
Designed with the environment in mind! Innovative flat-pack design reduces package volume, providing a 50% saving on both space and shipping costs, compared to comparable competitor units. UV lamp lifespan of up to 9000 hours significantly reduces both the cost and waste associated with frequent replacement. Energy-saving LED lighting and the latest fan technology, means the GuardOne® Workstation has one of the lowest power consumptions available on the market.
StarGuard® nitrile gloves
Smart packaging! StarGuard Comfort and StarGuard Sensitive have 250 and 200 gloves respectively, packed into the same size packaging as 100 gloves - this reduces transport emissions and packing materials. All StarGuard® gloves are made in factories carefully selected to ensure the production line is free from work abuse and unethical practices, and the manufacturing complies with the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
