Life cycle assessment 6

What do modern refrigerators

Life cycle assessment It is interesting to note that consumer products like refrigerators nowadays have very low energy consumption expressed in A+++ ratings* as a key benefit for the customer. This is not yet true for capital goods. We at KNAUER believe that our customers have the right to get access to A+++ HPLC systems. Thus in 2010 KNAUER became a pioneer in the field of life cycle assessment for HPLC systems. In a tedious process together with Scientists from the Technical University of Berlin we determined the environmental footprint of our HPLC systems. We strive for further reduction...

The life cycle of a KNAUER device Waste Disposal

What are the electricity costs Competitor 1 Competitor 2 Competitor 3 Once you think in categories of environmental impacts of your lab equipment you will address this question. We have carefully examined the electricity bill in our labs and were surprised how much electri-city was used before we started working on ways to reduce it. Start with KNAUER HPLC systems and you will save electricity twofold because apart from the lower energy consumption of the instruments you also save energy for air conditioning because there is less heat

What do you have in mind when you think of the KNAUER LCA initiative? We at KNAUER constantly have new ideas. LCA is just one. We look at the whole product life cycle in order to further minimize the environmental impact of our future HPLC systems. 2 Did you know that there are new materials behaving like synthetic polymers which are based on natural materials like lignin being a waste material in the paper industry? 2 Did you know that KNAUER will take back your old HPLC systems, disassemble them and recycle almost 100% of the materials? 2 Did you know that with our ultra-fast PLATINblue system...
