Across labs, sustainability is often framed through large, visible systems, energy consumption, facility design, and instrumentation efficiency. Yet some of the most persistent environmental impacts originate much closer to the experiment itself. Consumables, like pipette tips, are a clear example as they are essential to most workflows, used in vast quantities, and largely overlooked in sustainability calculations.

Polytag, Saica Flex, and Paragon have announced a strategic partnership to deliver innovative UV-tagged packaging labels, designed to provide brands with real-time, actionable environmental data.
