Have you ever wondered what to do with your used pipette tips? You may often find yourself with a large number of used pipette tips that you no longer need. It’s important to consider recycling them to reduce waste and promote environmental sustainability, not just dispose of them.
Here are some suggestion on how to recycle used pipette tips:
1. Collect them: The first step in recycling used pipette tips is to collect them. A separate collection box can be placed in the lab to store them properly.
2. Contact a recycling center: Contact your local recycling center to find out if they accept used laboratory equipment. Some recycling centers may accept pipette tips, or they may have information on where tips can be sent for proper recycling.
3. Separate plastics: Pipette tips are made of plastic and it is important to sort tips into categories. For example, some tips may be made of polypropylene while others are made of polystyrene. Separating plastics ensures proper recycling methods are used.
4. Consider reusing tips: Depending on the type of laboratory work being done, used pipette tips can be cleaned, sterilized, and reused. This reduces the amount of waste generated and promotes sustainability.
