Sustainable Design for High-Performance Laboratory Equipment 

Authors: Sartorius | Last updated: March 2026

Overview

The transition to a sustainable laboratory begins at the point of delivery. Reducing environmental impact in laboratories starts with smarter design choices, especially in packaging. By just focusing on innovative designs, it’s possible to significantly shift toward 100% recyclable, plastic-free components and high-recycled content materials. 

Discover how circular packaging benefits, such as reduced shipping weight and the elimination of heavy pallets, allow labs to meet rigorous sustainability targets without compromising product safety.
 

Key takeaways:

  1. Learn how high-performance balance components, such as draft shields, now use 100% recyclable corrugated cardboard inserts.
  2. Discover packaging pouches made with at least 80% recyclate, reducing reliance on virgin materials.
  3. Understand how optimized design can reduce packaging size by up to 60%, lowering shipment weight and CO₂ emissions.
  4. Explore how replacing PS foam with cardboard inserts makes accessory packaging up to 25% lighter.
  5. See how multi-shock resistant cushioning enables single-parcel shipping, eliminating pallets and reducing product damage.
