The Environmental Impact of NALGENE Products
Nalge Nunc International is very sensitive to the impact its products and packaging have on the environment and has taken several steps to make them more environmentally friendly:
We review all new NALGENE products for environmental impact, recyclability, and reusability.
We review all packaging in an effort to reduce the packaging and improve recyclability.
We only use packaging peanuts made without CFCS (cholorfluorocarbons) and we reuse the peanuts that we receive when we ship our own products.
We have eliminated the use of heavy-metal-based colorants in products produced at NNI Rochester.
We offer a complete line of reusable products designed to eliminate the amount of waste released into the
      waste stream. For nearly every disposable NALGENE product, there is an equivalent reusable product
      available. Your rep can help you choose the appropriate reusable equivalent, or you can contact
      NNI Technical Service
NNI's Internal Recycling Program
In addition to making it easier for customers to recycle our products, we've also implemented our own successful internal recycling program. NNI employees recycle paper and plastic products that they use on the job, reducing our waste by 36% and lowering our disposal costs by 40%. For our efforts, we were recognized as the "Environmentalist of the Year" by the local county legislature in 1991 and received the "Innovative Environmental" award from the International Association of Plastics Distributors (IAPD) in 1992.
