Reagent Disposal – Choosing the Greenest Option

As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of instruments and reagents for water analysis, HACH LANGE has a duty to create the most environmentally friendly system possible for the management of chemical waste resulting from the use of its products. Dismissing less sustainable options, the company has invested heavily in a state of the art environment centre that handles waste reagents, bottles, cuvettes and packaging from all over Europe. Dirk Kruse is the Scientific and Technical Officer at HACH LANGE’s Environment Centre. He says "Our waste management policy is designed to minimise or eliminate the company’s impact on the environment and is based on the three Rs – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle."
