ACT: Accountability. Consistency. Transparency.
When looking for sustainable products, we believe it should be easy to make informed purchasing decisions. We're working to provide more information about our products' environmental impact by participating in the ACT Label program with a selection of Thermo Scientific Nalgene and Matrix products.

How sustainable are your lab practices?
Laboratories can be big consumers of resources and waste producers, but there are choices you can make everyday to lower your lab’s environmental impact and achieve sustainability stardom. Put your lab practices to the test in the environmental board game where every action has a reaction.

Plastic containers are shatterproof, lighter weight than glass, and less likely to break, which requires an expensive replacement. Make your lab a safer place and stretch your budget. Break the glass habit—switch to plastic.
