Pipette provider rewards reuse by planting trees

Rainin Instrument works with American Forests to plant a tree every time one of its service return kits is reused, with a minimum commitment of 5000 trees in 2013.

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.
