Recycling Services

A circular supply chain is increasingly important for customers, using recycled materials and recycling items after use. Customers are also aware of the cost of waste removal. Depending on the geographical location of your laboratory, you can choose from a selection of recycling services for gloves, plasticware and garments.

The Fisher Scientific channel is not a recycling company and is not traditionally well designed to manage waste removal and recycling of customer waste.

However, we must be able to offer credible recycling service in-line with the products we sell, the regions we trade, and matching or exceeding the capabilities of our competitors.

Laboratories are resource intensive spaces:
- 10X more energy use than office space.
- 4X more water usage than office space.
- 5.5 million tons of plastic waste produced each year.
Customers increasingly need recycling solutions. Why not bundle recycling to close a plasticware, glove, or PPE deal with your customer?

The Fisher Scientific channel offers 3 pan-⁠European recycling schemes:

TerraCycle Zero Waste Box™. 12 waste types, in 3 sizes to suit any laboratory. Shipping and recycling is all included.

DuPont™ Tyvek™ recycling. Customers can ship DuPont and Fisherbrand Tyvek garments to the recycler for free of charge processing.

Kimberly-Clark RightCycle™. Your customer can recycle their Kimtech gloves, garments and PPE free of charge.
