Why doesn’t Millipore use recycled content in products?
Although there is growing interest in using reground plastics in our products, there are several limitations to doing so. Most of our products are used in bioscience research, in FDA controlled IVD products, or used in FDA-controlled manufacturing processes. As such, there are safety concerns over using regrind in any product that touches a therapeutic (e.g., vaccine or cancer treatment) fluid path. We hope to look at other alternatives for where we can use recycled content plastics.
