Greiner Bio-One: Sustainable Business Solutions

Oct. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Monroe, NC – Greiner Bio-One’s products offer solutions for the collection of human samples and plastic labware products specifically related to the medical research field. Notably, in 2011, Greiner Bio-One established a Green Committee. Their mission statement declares that the company dedicates itself to continuing and creating initiatives to reduce their carbon footprint, save energy and be an example of a socially and environmentally conscious organization. These sustainable values led the company to earn Gold-level green business certification from the Green Business Bureau, which is a national membership organization that uses an online assessment to certify green businesses.

Greiner Bio-One’s green strategy is to fully engage their employees in green initiatives, promote sustainability as a manufacturing company and implement positive effects within both the local community and global environment. The company’s successful changes in the sales field, manufacturing plants and corporate offices make an impact of saving over 60,000 trees internationally through energy, paper and waste conservation as well as recycling practices and efficiency in waste management. Greiner now recycles paper, plastics and cans and even has a cell phone recycling plan. Since transitioning to an eco-friendly office environment customer relationships have significantly improved.

Recently the company has changed all paper towel dispensers over to hand dryers, changed their invoicing system to be mostly electronic and is currently implementing an app-based handheld system to reduce paper waste. They have significantly improved their scrap recycling and changed their internal packaging materials to a biodegradable option, providing greater cost savings. Their smart green strategy proves that sustainability is not only good for the planet but also for the bottom line.
