At Alpha we beleive it is our responsibility to manage our business with the care of the environment always in mind.

We have many 'green' initiatives :

Paper
We only use paper stock that is 100% from sustainable sources. So you can be sure that the catalogues, brochures and information you receive from us have no adverse impact on the environment.

The inks we use to print are also vegetable based too.

Recycling
Plastics Scheme
We operate a very active recycling scheme for the pastic consumables we supply. We'd encourage you to sing up for our scheme by clicking on the link below. Unlike others, we operate this scheme on a non-profit basis.

Alpha's plastic recycling scheme

Internal
At head office we're careful to separate all recycled products in special bins so that everything that can be recycled is recycled. In our warehouse all used packaging is also sent for recycling.

Fastrak - A first use for bio-plastic
At the forefront of sustainable laboratory products is Fastrak. No other similar product on the market has less packaging or is made from more renewable materials.

Fastrak uses bio-plastic, a rapidly biodegradable corn derivative, for the first time in the laboratory industry.
