Disposable gloves, especially nitrile gloves, are often\u00a0 made from materials that take a long time to decompose in landfill sites. Recycling gloves diverts these materials from landfills, extending their lifespan and reducing the burden on waste management systems. Recycling gloves also utilizes existing materials, thereby reducing the need to extract and process raw materials. For several years now, we have worked with TerraCycle, a company that collects and recycles our used nitrile gloves. So far, we have recycled 344 lbs (156.0 kgs) of gloves!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Jackson ImmunoResearch, we lyophilize a majority of our products to reduce the need for refrigerated transport, thereby cutting down on energy consumption and packaging waste. Many of our products are dispensed and stored in glass vials. The products that are sensitive to light, are pipetted in amber glass vials. The benefit of packaging in glass vials rather than plastic is that the vials are 100 % recyclable and can be reused without degrading in quality. All of our products are shipped out in recycled cardboard boxes which are far lighter than cool-boxes filled with solid CO<sub>2<\/sub><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jackson ImmunoResearch promotes sustainability internally to! Our Sustainability Committee works to &#8211; educate, and encourage employees on sustainability practices. A major initiative for the Sustainability Committee that has been integrated within the company is a recycling program. We recycle Styrofoam, coffee packets, and various grades of plastics, including #2 (HDPE), #4 (LDPE), and #5 (PP). In the last 12 months, we\u2019ve recycled 1,987lbs (901.3 kgs) of plastic resulting in, 11,543lbs (5,235.8 kgs) of CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions reduced<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3,046 lbs (1,381.6 kgs) of fossil fuels reduced, 1,668,080 gallons (6,314,369.7 litres) of fresh water conserved, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20lbs (9.07 kgs)of SO<sub>2<\/sub> reduced, 70lbs (31.8 kgs) of N<sub>2<\/sub> reduced, 222lbs (100.7 kgs) of O<sub>3<\/sub> reduced.
