Help minimize environmental impact from start to finish
We seek to understand and minimize the environmental impact of our products and packaging throughout a product’s life cycle—from design to end-of-life. Single-use technologies (SUT) offer exceptional quality and efficiency in bioprocessing, accelerating the pathway to commercialization. It allows customers to reduce contamination risk and increase performance.
SUT also enables lower consumption of key resources (e.g., water, electricity, and space) and has been observed to have less environmental impact than traditional manufacturing with stainless steel.
Single-use bioreactors (SUBs), for example, have been shown to greatly reduce water consumption and facility energy use when compared to stainless steel bioreactors (SSBs). Deploying innovative equipment can support the reduction of consumables usage as well.
