Cole-Parmer is rolling out new plans daily to provide environmentally friendly solutions for our customers. We have taken many steps to upgrade our warehouse with new eco-friendly materials to reduce waste and conserve energy. Below are some of the improvements we have put in place to help reduce our carbon footprint:

• Biodegradable SUPER 8® loosefill packing peanuts made from all recycled materials—read more about our "green" packing peanuts (PDF)
• 100% recycled packaging paper, plastic pallets and pallet runners, edge protectors, and more
• Packaging materials shipped into our warehouse are reused or recycled
• High-efficiency fluorescent lights in our warehouse

Check back to this page periodically to see our latest “green” developments.

Keep it growing! We encourage you to recycle and reuse the packing materials—cardboard, paper tape, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, etc.—you receive in your shipment. Together, doing this simple activity, we can work to create a cleaner and safer planet.
