Pipette Tip Packaging Recycling Guide
With its GreenMT Initiative, METTLER TOLEDO is committed to conducting business in a manner that minimizes its environmental footprint.
Rainin - a proud member of the METTLER TOLEDO family of companies - is committed to minimizing the materials used in our products and packaging, while also reducing energy consumption and manufacturing waste. We encourage the conservation of natural resources, avoid the use of hazardous materials wherever possible and promote reuse and recycling throughout our operations.
You can help keep your recycling from ending up in a landfill. Knowing the codes, you can separate components before transporting them to a local recycler for further processing.
As green as we are today, we are committed to being even greener tomorrow.

Plastic Resin Identification Codes
1: Polyethylene Terephthalate
Polyethylene terephthalate, also referred to as PET or PETE, is the most frequently recycled plastic. It can be found in plastic soda and water bottles and Rainin products like TerraRack and Green-Pak SpaceSaver.
5: Polypropylene
Polypropylene (PP) is inert against chemical reaction. Many injection-molded plastic products are made out of it. With a high melting point, it's used to contain hot liquids and food, and many medicine bottles rely on PP. Rainin pipette tips and most of our pipette tip racks are made out of pure 100% virgin Polypropelene.

LDPE Film for Shrink Wrap

Low-Density Polyethylene, or LDPE, can be found in milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles and some shopping bags. It's a commonly used plastic. Some Rainin products are shrink-wrapped in LDPE.
