Burkle’s Bio-Plastic Range – reducing the carbon footprint of lab plastics
Sampling work often requires plastic items like scoops or spoons to collect the sample, and these are often disposable, one use items. Disposable plastics do eliminate cross-contamination between samples to give accurate results, but the waste that this generates can quickly add up. Burkle have developed a great new range of scoops, spoons and spatulas in Green Bio-Plastic – this has all ...

Why should we continue to use incineration for medical waste?
Contrary to popular belief, only about 10% of all general medical waste is incinerated. Incineration is the only approved disposal method for yellow bag waste under UN law. This includes all infectious waste, such as chemically contaminated samples, infectious waste contaminated with medicines or chemicals and laboratory specimens. This is because it is the safest and most effective way of ...
