Sustainability
You can help meet your sustainability goals and protect the environment by taking advantage of the Thermo Fisher returnable container service, which reduces the amount of glass and cardboard you need to dispose of. For example, with each 200 L returnable container, you can eliminate almost 200 lb./90 kg of glass and cardboard waste.
The returnable container program dedicates a fleet of drums and/or barrels to your chemicals so you can rest assured your order won’t be exposed to cross-contamination. This service also includes the cleaning, maintaining, and refilling of your empty drums/barrels, which can not only reduce your hazardous disposal costs, but can also eliminate the need for rinsing at your site.
The program works like this: After you place your order, your chemicals are manufactured then delivered to you in a reusable container. Once you have emptied the container, you can arrange a time for Thermo Fisher to pick it up. The drum/barrel then gets cleaned, validated, and refilled for shipment back to you.
