  • Press Release
  • November 28, 2024

We are thrilled to announce that our Crystal16 ® multi-reactor crystallizer has received the ACT Label Certification from My Green Lab. The certification underscores our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility in the scientific community.

The ACT Environmental Impact Factor Ecolabel (standing for Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency) from My Green Lab is recognized globally as the gold standard for assessing the environmental impact of laboratory products. It evaluates factors such as product manufacturing impact, energy and water usage, packaging, innovation and end-of-life considerations. It scores each factor from 1-10, with lower scores indicating better sustainability impact.

Technobis is thrilled to achieve the ACT Label certification for the Crystal16®. As part of the certification process, we highlight important milestones in our sustainability journey, such as:

  • Our commitment to innovating sustainably. With a dedicated sustainability team to focus on waste and sustainability, as well as a waste separation program in place, Technobis and its Crystal16®  received a score of -1.0 (minimal environmental impact) for innovation practices.
  • Crystal16® also received a minimal environmental impact score of 1.0 for its end of life considerations, which includes a take-back program for all markets, as well as instructions on how the end user should manage the product at its end of life.
  • The company's manufacturing facility in Alkmaar, The Netherlands, uses renewable energy in the form of municipal solid waste energy generation. The facility also received a 5.0 score for responsible chemical management, thanks to its robust Environmental Management System (EMS) covering the management and communication of hazardous chemistries throughout the value chain and within the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the Crystal16® is EU RoHS compliant.

We are fully committed to continuing our sustainability journey with our products and technology.
