We take the environment seriously
We try to minimize waste and the environmental impact of shipping products to our customers.
Here’s what we have already achieved and what we are working on:
- Smaller packages – whenever possible, we use small packages to minimize waste
- Recycling – we recycle styrofoam boxes and stuffing materials we receive from our suppliers
- Packaging – we refrain from buying new plastic stuffing materials and have replaced them with more sustainable alternatives
- CO2 compensation – we fully compensate our carbon footprint - read more below
We are delighted to announce that LubioScience is a certified carbon neutral company!
At LubioScience we realize that we are part of an industry where sustainability is often not the main focus. Whether it's long supply chains, packaging waste or animal welfare, we still face a lot of issues and there is much room for improvement.
Nevertheless, actions speak louder than words and with this in mind we have taken the route towards becoming a carbon neutral company. We have calculated our CO2 emissions across the entire company and invested in sustainability projects in order to compensate these emissions.
