Polycarbin
| - Polycarbin provides scientists with a closed-loop solution for laboratory plastics. As a recycler and product re-manufacturer, Polycarbin turns the plastic waste of today into the laboratory products of tomorrow. These products are made from 60-92% circular economy resin. This means that not only are they post-consumer, the previous consumer was another researcher, so this material is staying within the scientific supply chain (vs being landfilled or turned into a park bench).
