Environmental awareness

As a distributor, BioNordika impacts the environment; hence, we need to set requirements that we and our suppliers must meet. BioNordika is responsible for choosing, obtaining and delivering the products we sell. Consequently, efficient logistics and warehouse management are essential, contributing to reducing environmental impact.

We are Eco Lighthouse certified

In 2018, we became an Eco Lighthouse-certified business. We work with sustainability in areas such as the working environment, waste management, energy use, purchasing and transport, and want to do our part to contribute to a green future. We evaluate our suppliers, both for internal use and for products we distribute. We strive to reduce the impact on the environment, and our products must not harm users. These goals must be achieved through continuous improvements. Both management and employees must participate actively in the improvement work.

Green tips

It is certainly possible to run the lab a bit more sustainable by squeezing down the consumption of plastic materials, recycling more efficiently, or even reusing some products. At BioNordika we are committed to making better choices for our environment, and we encourage our customers to consider these 7 green tips:

Select a supplier with green values in practice
Replace tap water-cooling with circulators
Shut down the instruments when not in use
Avoid unnecessary heating and cooling
Choose less harmful reagents when available
Maintain your instruments regularly to keep them running longer.
Order in bulk when possible, to avoid extra packaging and shipping
