Sustainable Solutions in Science: PulpFixin Teams Up with UDRI
PulpFixin, a leader in eco-friendly products for the science community, is joining forces with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI). The goal? To test and confirm the effectiveness and durability of their innovative biodegradable and recyclable products. These include AutoRacks, Cryogenic Boxes, and Pipet Tip Boxes.
UDRI will conduct thorough materials testing on PulpFixin’s patented pulp-based products and their unique FutureFilm™ sealant. This testing will assess product strength and temperature resistance, using ANSI testing methods to meet today’s demands in biotech and pharmaceutical labs.
Kip Matthews, President of PulpFixin, highlighted UDRI’s strong reputation, stating, "Their independent testing will validate what our customers already experience – high-performing, durable alternatives to fossil fuel-based products."
This partnership aims to minimize plastic waste, a growing environmental concern. Recently, a study showed that over 300 million tons of plastic are produced globally each year, with a significant portion ending up in landfills. As labs strive to cut down on their plastic use, PulpFixin’s products present a practical solution.
Chad Jenkins, Chief Commercial Officer at PulpFixin, emphasized the importance of this partnership. "It’s not just about being biodegradable," he said. "It’s about proving that sustainable solutions can match or surpass traditional plastics."
Already, labs eager to lessen their environmental footprints are adopting PulpFixin’s products without sacrificing efficiency. Through this collaboration, the company hopes to enhance its credibility and accelerate adoption in the industry.
