Circular economy
In a circular economy, value is created when resources are kept to a minimum, products and materials are kept at maximum value throughout their product lifecycle, waste is eliminated, and natural systems are regenerated. By buying instruments back for refurbishing or recycling, we keep the environment in mind, which is one of the core values of EM Certified Solutions.
When you purchase a pre-owned electron microscope, you, too, are contributing to this circular economy—without compromising on quality. Partner with us, and we will refurbish or recondition your instrument or recycle its parts to reduce environmental impacts.
Our Certified Centers are located around the globe, close to our factories and service centers, to ensure wide local coverage, fast reaction time, and the high quality you expect from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Planting trees for sustainability
We believe we have a responsibility to actively reduce our impact on the planet while continually seeking new ways to facilitate and accelerate discovery for our customers. We invite you to join us in our endeavor to plant trees and invest in a sustainable future. As the first electron microscope manufacturer to publicly show such a contribution to a greener planet, we will plant:
- 100 trees in your name for each EM Certified reconditioned instrument you purchase.
- 10 trees in your name for each Thermo Scientific instrument we buy back from you.

By recycling our instruments, we are reducing harmful waste in landfills, which is just one aspect of EM Certified Solutions’ dedication to a circular economy. Partnering with More Trees by THG Eco will contribute to reducing our impact on the planet.
Why trees? Planting trees is a simple but powerful way to invest in a sustainable future. By purchasing trees through More Trees by THG Eco, who partners with Eden Reforestation Projects, to plant trees in projects across the globe, we are contributing to the sequestration of future carbon dioxide from our atmosphere as well as protecting biodiversity and restoring vital forest zones. The reforestation projects they support in Kenya, Haiti, and Madagascar empower local communities to restore forests, create jobs, and protect ecosystems.
Trees also support different species of animals, invertebrates, plants, fungi, lichens, and mosses, all of which have a knock-on effect within the whole ecosystem. Trees provide work, clean the air, filter water, regulate rainfall, improve soil quality, offer shelter, and reduce flooding.

When trees are planted, with the right forestry management practice and community backing, the carbon from the atmosphere can be captured and stored. More Trees by THG Eco reports that each tree can sequester an estimated 0.3 tons of CO2 over its lifetime, which can be up to 25 years.
If you would like to learn more about the tree planting program or discuss which instruments are in our current inventory, or talk to us about an evaluation of your current instruments, please contact your Account Manager.
Together, we are making a difference in the world.
