Pipette tips made from cooking oil
Eppendorf uses new, more environmentally friendly materials

Ever since vessels made of glass were replaced by fossil-based plastic vessels, these have been irreplaceable in laboratories world-wide. This is because they provide the required quality standards for increasingly demanding research. This is a growing challenge in terms of sustainability. As a result, Eppendorf not only focuses on developing new products, but also on new, more environmentally friendly materials.

Following the successful launch of a new generation of bio-based Eppendorf Tubes® , Eppendorf is taking the next step and introducing the epT.I.P.S.® BioBased pipette tips to the market, which are also manufactured from at least 90% renewable, bio-based materials (recycled from cooking oil waste and residue, for example).
In addition, the Reload variant developed especially for these pre-sterilized pipette tips saves up to 54% plastic in comparison to disposable racks, considerably reducing waste.
