Greener Package Pipette provider Rainin Instrument has launched a new program—One Tree Planted—to encourage its customers to reuse the heavy-duty paperboard return kits it sends to those who request mail-in service for their pipettes. Working in partnership with American Forests, each time a customer reuses one of the company’s pipette return kits, Rainin will plant a tree. A subsidiary of Mettler Toledo, Rainin is the largest manufacturer and service provider of pipettes in the world, servicing more than 230,000 pipettes each year in the U.S. alone. Its pipette products are used by customers that include pharmaceutical, biotech, academic, forensics, and industrial/chemical organizations, for a range of liquid handling applications. The company’s service return kits, configured with polyurethane cut-outs to hold pipettes securely inside, are sent to customers overnight and are then used to ship pipettes back to Rainin for service—a method that accounts for more than 90% of the company’s in-house service orders.
