A typical laboratory purchases filter tips and non-filter tips in fully racked boxes from the manufacturer, once the tips are used up, the boxes are discarded or recycled.
By using a local pipette tip refilling service, laboratories can significantly reduce the environmental impacts of shipping the plastic weight associated with these boxes.
Tip boxes from filter, non-filter and automated tip usage contribute more plastic waste than the tips themselves and they are often unnecessarily discarded or recycled following use. By using a local tip refilling service, these boxes can be refilled and reused dozens of times to reduce the environmental impact of laboratory activities.

A local pipette tip refilling service can stabilise the supply of pipette tips to your laboratory. With stocks of filled, QC'd pipette tips boxes held locally and quickly dispatched, there is no longer any need to order and hold large stocks of tip boxes. Additionally, with significantly lower shipping costs when compared to disposable, pre-filled boxes, costs are less affected by shipping rates meaning more stable, predictable pricing.
