The Edwards nXRi family of dry multistage roots pumps is now My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel certified, providing independently audited environmental impact data for these products, such as verification of the 40% recycled content by weight across their overall packaging system.
The third-party verified data discloses multiple environmental performance factors including manufacturing impact reduction efforts, renewable energy sourcing, chemical management practices, shipping pathways, end-of-life options, and more. By making this information available through the ACT Ecolabel Database, the nXRi product entries support transparent, side-by-side review of standardized environmental attributes for scientists, purchasers, and sustainability teams.
HALYARD’s PUREZERO* MARIN (XTRA)* and PUREZERO* LIMON (XTRA)* life science nitrile scientific gloves are now My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel certified, making third-party verified environmental performance information available for these product families in the ACT Ecolabel Database. Across the MARIN (XTRA) and LIMON (XTRA) glove listings, the ACT Ecolabel discloses standardized attributes spanning product and packaging materials, shipping conditions, manufacturing best practices, and company GHG tracking and targets. The listings indicate these gloves are primarily single-use (>75%), ship at ambient temperature, and include commonly recyclable materials (such as cardboard) in their packaging, alongside verified disclosures related to renewable energy sourcing mechanisms and on-site generation at the facility level. Select glove entries also include cradle-to-gate product carbon reporting details aligned with the ISO 14040/14044 framework, designed to support Scope 3 estimation use. Learn more about HALYARD’s PUREZERO* MARIN (XTRA) and LIMON (XTRA) life science nitrile gloves on their website.
By getting these products listed in the ACT database with trusted ACT Ecolabel Certification, these organizations are showcasing their commitment to transparency and sustainability. In doing so they are making it easier for labs worldwide to choose greener solutions. Learn how to get your products added to the database here.
