Environment

Biohit pays particular attention to the environmental impact of its operations. We aim to develop and manufacture products that will cause as little environmental loading as possible throughout their entire life cycles.

Lifecycle management We take all aspects of the product into account from the development phase until the end of its lifetime. Best possible manufacturing technology We invest in state-of-the-art technology to make more effective use of raw material and generate less waste. Recycling We aim to only use material that can be recycled.

How we do it in practice All package material is suitable for recycling as energy waste Package sizes are made as small as possible in order to use less material and make logistics more efficient We use environmentally friendly plastics since 1994 (no cadmium, 99.5%% energy waste) Our pipette tips and boxes are 99.5% recyclable •They can be used as energy waste •We reuse them in non-precision products that    do not require virgin material, for example, box   covers and trays •Clearly less waste is being generated thanks to   state-of-the-art molding technology Our mLINE and Proline Plus mechanical pipettes are more than 90% recyclable In our electronic liquid handling devices we use environmentally friendly batteries since 1996 (no cadmium) WEEE / RoHS compliant products - the recycling of our electronic pipettes is controlled by national authorities (SELT Association in Finland)
