GP Scientific Packing Materials - Environmental Information

At GP Scientific we try to do our bit towards reducing our environmental impact. We are always evaluating our packing materials, and we have removed as much plastic from our packaging as possible. 

Shipping Materials:

We try to reduce packaging wherever possible, and we always use Electronic Trade Documents to reduce printed shipping paperwork whenever we can.

Our shipments are packed safely and securely, but you can also be confident that our packing materials can be safely recycled using your normal local recycling facilities.

• Our boxes are 100% minimum recycled cardboard and completely recyclable. 
• Our box sealing tape is paper - 0% plastic and fully recyclable with the boxes.
• Our bubble-wrap is recyclable and biodegradable. 
• Our clear tape is natural cellulose - 0% plastic and fully biodegradable.  
• Where paper shipping documentation is required, we always use fully recylable PEFC and EU Ecolabel certified paper.

Tube Packaging:

Our replacement purifier cartridges are all individually sealed so you always receive a fresh cartridge to install in your purifier. 

This individual packing has to be plastic to achieve the necessary hermetic sealing, however we have carefully chosen materials that have the lowest environmental impact. All the tube packing is recyclable and is free from heavy metals, or other toxic chemicals.
