Save more than 60% on Eco-Costs with Micronic EFC Refill Racks

The first-of-its-kind Micronic EFC Refill Rack comprises a reusable base rack and cover, and a refill system made of 99% in-house renewed materials, highlighting Micronic’s commitment to both environmental responsibility and superior functionality. This innovative Refill Rack is an addition to the Micronic Eco-Friendly Choice (EFC) Rack Range consisting of the EFC Racks RM, which are also manufactured from 99% in-house renewed materials.

Renewed and Recyclable Materials

The EFC Refill Rack emphasizes Micronic’s dedication to sustainable design. Both the base rack and cover are made from polypropylene (PP), enhancing durability and making the product ideal for reuse while simplifying the recycling process. Uniquely made from 99% renewed materials sourced directly from Micronic’s production facility in the Netherlands, the refill system undergoes stringent quality control measures to ensure no compromise in quality or integrity during the renewal process, guaranteeing high-quality, renewed materials. This solution aligns seamlessly with the growing demand for environmentally responsible laboratory labware.

Sustainability Impact Metrics & General Cost Savings

The chart below presents a comparison of the eco-costs and carbon footprint metrics for the Micronic EFC Refill Rack versus a regular storage rack. Eco-costs, or ecological costs, represent the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle, from production to disposal. The Micronic EFC Refill Rack offers significant environmental and cost advantages. After 10 uses, the product results in a 61% savings on eco-costs and reduces the carbon footprint by 69%. These figures demonstrate that the EFC Refill Rack is a more sustainable solution for laboratories seeking to minimize their environmental impact.

The Micronic EFC Refill Rack is not only more sustainable but also more cost-effective in general than traditional racks. Using 400 traditional racks compared to 40 EFC Refill Racks with 360 refills can lead to savings of up to 47%. Make your laboratory durable and pay less with Micronic EFC Refill Racks!

ACT Label for Micronic EFC Refill Rack

The new EFC Refill Rack from Micronic is certified according to the ACT label. The EFC Refill Rack has an Environmental Impact Factor (EIF) of only 23.9. This low impact is primarily due to Micronic’s in-house material renewal process, which allows the refill system to be manufactured using 99% renewed materials.

The EIF score has dropped significantly to 23.9, compared to 32.8 on our previous labels for labware, a result we are incredibly proud of. This achievement inspires us to continue striving for even lower scores in the future. At Micronic, we are constantly exploring ways to enhance sustainability and identify opportunities to further minimize the environmental impact of our products.

Superior Features & Benefits

The Micronic EFC Refill Rack is engineered to perform reliably across a broad temperature range, from -80°C to +140°C, ensuring reliable operation in various conditions. It is available in a 96-well format for 1.40ml tubes and is compatible with both internally and externally threaded tubes, using screw or push caps. This versatility makes the EFC Refill Rack suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications.
