Redesigning Our Packaging to be More Sustainable
You may have noticed our kit packaging looks different. We are committed to sustainability and our redesigned packaging kept sustainability at the center. See what our award-winning sustainable packaging looks like and how the efforts of many people resulted in a leaner, more sustainable box.
Reducing Packaging Materials
We continually evaluate the sustainability of our packaging to use less paperboard, ink and adhesive, use environmentally friendly materials, and design for recycling or reuse while maintaining product protection and quality. Our environmentally conscious efforts include switching to smaller shipping boxes to use less materials, changing to unbleached shipping boxes with sustainably harvested materials and using biodegradable and recyclable air pouches that protect our products. In addition, we have implemented designs that minimize package air space and incorporate better insulating materials, efforts that reduced both shipment weight and the amount of dry ice.
Conserving Water
From collecting rainwater for cleaning and irrigating plants in Australia to low-flow faucets and toilets in California and Wisconsin, conserving water is an integral part of how Promega functions. In the last year, gross water usage decreased by over 7.5 million liters or 2 million gallons. Since 2015, water usage has reduced by 27% as indexed to revenue.
