We at Liofilchem are proud to communicate a fundamental step forward in our policies of environmental sustainability.
The plastic materials used for the packaging of several ready-to-use culture media of ours are going to be drastically reduced in the coming months.
The ready-to-use culture media in
60 mm diameter plates
for water testing will gradually be packed in 4 sleeves of 5 plates each, that means
84% plastic reduction
in comparison to the current individual blister packaging.
The ready-to-use culture media in
contact plates
for the microbiological testing of surfaces will gradually be packed in 2 sleeves of 10 plates each, which results into
90% plastic reduction
in comparison to the current individual blister packaging.
The
gamma-irradiates, triple packed contact plates
will gradually be packed in 2 sleeves of 10 plates each, which means
67% plastic reduction
if compared to the current individual blister packaging.
Furthermore, the
volume
of the 4 sleeves pack for the 60mm plates results
40% inferior
to the blister pack, while the 2 sleeves pack for the contact plates results
33% inferior
to its blister pack, thus allowing a significant rationalization of storage space and transportation volumes for a considerable reduction of CO₂ emissions.
