Recycling solutions for Lab Pipette Tips

Laboratory pipette tips are single-use plastic consumables used billions of times annually across research and clinical facilities worldwide. Made primarily from high-grade polypropylene, these precision-molded tips accumulate as contaminated lab waste, creating disposal costs and regulatory compliance challenges while valuable polymer materials are lost to landfill or incineration.

With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:

Recover high-value materials
Reduce disposal costs and material purchasing costs by up to 35%
Meet regulation obligations with audit-grade reporting

What's Inside a Lab Pipette Tips?

Most tips are lightweight precision components, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

Polypropylene
85%
High-grade medical polymer
Polystyrene
10%
Transparent viewing windows
Other
5%
Additives and colorants

This composition, especially the Polypropylene and Polystyrene, makes lab pipette tips ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

Lab Pipette Tips Recycling Process: Step by Step

Recycling sounds simple — doing it consistently and compliantly across regions is complex. Resourcify sets up and runs scalable take-back programs worldwide, connecting companies, processors, dismantlers, logistics and recyclers in one platform.

Collection & Segregation

Collect used tips in dedicated containers, separating by contamination level and polymer type.

Sterilization

Apply steam sterilization or chemical treatment to eliminate biological contaminants safely.

Sorting & Cleaning

Remove residual liquids and sort by plastic type using automated optical recognition systems.

Mechanical Processing

Shred sterilized tips into uniform flakes and wash to remove any remaining contamination.

Pelletization

Melt and extrude clean polymer flakes into standardized pellets for manufacturing reuse.
