It was way back in 2009 that the first seed of the Alpha Laboratories’ tree planting scheme, LaboraTree, was sown.
LaboraTree is Alpha’s scheme to plant trees and make a sustainable contribution to the environment. It’s free to join and exclusive to Fastrak® and ZAP™ tip users, giving you a unique combination of green benefits.
Thanks to the dedicated LaboraTree members in laboratories throughout the UK, over 2,000 trees have now been planted across the country and are helping make a difference to our environment.
The trees planted by our members have helped to consume CO2, clean up pollution, generate oxygen and provide vital habitats for wildlife.
The location of your tree will be indicated on your personalised tree certificate. The trees are native, broadleaved varieties such as Oak, Ash & Birch.
Fastrak® is an ingenious pipette tip refill system that minimises waste, saves time and space and helps you to lower your carbon footprint. Compared with other tip refill systems it is smaller, lighter and uses less packaging. Its production is eco-friendly all the way, using renewable, fully recyclable materials, non-toxic vegetable inks and solar power. They are designed to fit most major pipette brands and are thoroughly tested for assurance of accuracy and precision with your pipette, time after time.
ZAP™ Filter Tips are Fastrak’s sister product, and made with sunshine too! 30% of the energy needed to make ZAP tips comes directly from solar panels. They make the perfect green tip combination as ZAP tip boxes can be refilled with Fastrak tips, enabling them to be re-used again and again.
Using both Fastrak® and ZAP together is the perfect eco-friendly combination.
There’s never been a better time to join the LaboraTree scheme!
