Building a Circular Future for Laboratory Plastics.
While single-use plastics are essential for scientific research, most enter disposal pathways without recovery. At ReLoop Sciences, we transform suitable non-hazardous laboratory plastics into valuable resources by building a traceable circular economy ecosystem connecting laboratories, recyclers, and manufacturers.
Our Approach
ReLoop Sciences is developing a collaborative ecosystem that aims to connect key stakeholders involved in laboratory material management.
Research Laboratories
Universities, institutes & labs generating plastic consumables
Traceable Collection
Dedicated containers & barcode-enabled collection systems
Material Tracking
Digital records & complete chain of custody traceability
Recycling Partners
Specialized non-hazardous sorting, cleaning & resin processing
Recovered Materials
High-grade PCR polymer granules & circular feedstocks
Manufacturing Partners
Precision eco-conscious labware & industrial production
New Products
Circular laboratory consumables re-entering productive use
The goal is simple:
Keep valuable materials in productive use for longer while improving transparency throughout the recovery process.
Our Solutions
Tailored programmes and assessments designed to provide full visibility into laboratory material flows and enable circular recovery pathways.
Traceable Collection Programmes
ReLoop Sciences is exploring dedicated collection programmes for suitable non-hazardous laboratory plastics. Through barcode-enabled collection systems and material traceability, laboratories can gain greater visibility into their material recovery pathways.
Why It Matters
Traceability helps provide transparency, accountability, and confidence throughout the recovery journey.
Potential Features & Scope
Laboratory Sustainability Assessments
Understanding sustainability starts with understanding current practices. ReLoop Sciences helps organisations review how laboratory materials are used and managed.
Potential Features & Scope
Key Deliverables
Waste Stream Mapping
Many organisations do not have a clear picture of what materials enter and leave their laboratories. Waste Stream Mapping helps create that visibility.
Assessment Areas
Laboratory Plastics
- Falcon tubes
- Pipette tip boxes
- PCR plates
- Serological pipettes
- Sample containers
Packaging Materials
- Cardboard
- Plastic wrap
- Shipping materials
- Protective packaging
Material Flows
- Current disposal pathways
- Waste volumes
- Segregation practices
- Recovery opportunities
Key Deliverables
Circularity Assessments
Once laboratory material streams are understood, organisations can begin exploring opportunities for circularity. Circularity Assessments help identify materials that may have the potential to move beyond traditional disposal pathways.
Potential Features & Scope
Key Deliverables
Sustainability Reporting & Insights
Organisations increasingly require better visibility into environmental performance and sustainability initiatives. ReLoop Sciences supports improved understanding of laboratory material flows through data, reporting, and sustainability insights.
