Polycarbin breaks the single-use scientific plastic mold

Closing the Loop on single-use plastics

Polycarbin announced the launch of the industry’s only line of low-impact laboratory products, the Closed Loop Collection on Thomas Scientific’s platform. Polycarbin’s product line is remanufactured using circular economy, recycled laboratory plastic reducing the need for more carbon-intensive virgin resins.

After witnessing 8 million tons of plastic waste generated during the Covid-19 pandemic, the life science industry has been forced to confront the consequences of a ‘single-use’ economy. Unsustainable lab product supply chains have been paralyzed amidst the pandemic leading to historic lead times, which in turn have interrupted innovation. Polycarbin, with the help of partners like Thomas Scientific, has created a more sustainable and efficient life science supply chain to meet the needs of scientists and the low-carbon economy of the future.

John Cincotta, Thomas Scientific, Vice-President of Category Management & Strategic Sourcing adds, “Thomas Scientific is extremely proud and excited to partner with Polycarbin in bringing a more sustainable and efficient supply chain solution to our customers in the scientific community. Polycarbin supports Thomas Scientific’s initiatives in helping to provide our customers with more eco-friendly product options today and in the future.”
