Sustainability
AlphaGem will offer innovative products that remain highly efficient throughout their service life and support all sustainability principles.
Globally, scientific research activities contribute to the generation of approximately 5.5 million tons of plastic waste. Though it may not be possible to completely eliminate plastic waste from the environment, implementing sustainable manufacturing practices that result in less waste and more recyclable products could help mitigate the problem.
At AlphaGem Bio, we prioritize sustainable manufacturing practices that promote environmental stewardship and social responsibility. This allows us to grow and expand our business worldwide. Our product manufacturing operations take place in a sustainable manner that minimizes our ecological footprint and creates a positive impact on the planet as well as on our customers, employees, and the communities we serve.
To build a greener future, we follow a holistic approach encompassing sustainable and eco-friendly product design, optimized manufacturing processes, maximum waste reduction, and renewable energy initiatives.
Our Mission for a Sustainable Future
Our mission is to deliver ultra-premium and innovative labware to all our global customers and partners while fostering environmental sustainability. We combine Excellence, Innovation, and Sustainability to offer elegant solutions for the consumable labware market by manufacturing products made of high-quality material designed to minimize waste and energy consumption.
Commitment to Sustainable Manufacturing
• Eco-friendly Product design
At AlphaGem Bio, sustainable and recyclable materials with minimal environmental impact are utilized. We aim to create labware products that meet the highest quality standards and reduce our carbon footprint.
• Optimization of Production Processes
We continuously seek opportunities to optimize our production processes to reduce waste, energy consumption, and emissions. By implementing innovative technologies and lean manufacturing principles, we strive for efficiency and sustainability in every aspect of our operations.
• Increased Energy Efficiency
AlphaGem Bio invests in energy-efficient equipment and technologies to reduce energy consumption. Through energy audits and continuous monitoring, we identify areas for improvement and implement energy-saving measures to maximize efficiency and minimize our carbon emissions.
• Pollution, Emission, and Waste Reduction
We are committed to producing less pollution, emissions, and waste throughout our manufacturing process. Our company follows and implements best practices, such as proper waste segregation, treatment, and recycling, to minimize their environmental impact and, thus, contribute to a circular economy.
We Follow Time-saving Practices
We follow time-saving practices by implementing THREE CORE factors:
1. Lean Manufacturing
We embrace lean manufacturing principles to eliminate waste, streamline processes, and optimize resource utilization. Identifying and eliminating non-value-added activities enhances our productivity while reducing environmental impact.
2. Technology to Optimize Processes
Using technologies and an automation system in our company helps us optimize our manufacturing processes, improve work efficiency, and minimize resource consumption.
3. Continuous Improvement
AlphaGem Bio fosters a culture of continuous improvement, empowering our employees to contribute to sustainability initiatives through training programs, workshops, regular assessments, feedback loops, and collaborative problem-solving.
We Implement 3Rs (Recycle, Reuse, Reduce) Principles
We recycled 100% of all polypropylene byproducts generated from our production. This ensures that these materials are diverted from the waste stream and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle. We incorporate 30% of the recycled polypropylene material into our other product lines as part of our commitment to a circular economy and aim of promoting resource conservation.
• Waste Management
We implement comprehensive waste management practices to minimize landfill waste. Since we follow the recycling and reusing principle, this helps us to decrease our environmental impact.
• Packaging
Packaging is a major contributor to waste. We prioritize packaging practices that utilize recyclable and eco-friendly materials. Our packaging material is recyclable and helps to reduce the landfill burden.
We Use Renewable Energy
We have installed a solar array system, a 240KW solar panel system that harnesses the power of the sun to generate renewable energy for our facility. The renewable energy integration system powers our entire facility and provides an estimated energy delivery that ranges from 80% to 120% of our energy requirements.
This substantial renewable energy source significantly reduces our reliance on traditional grid-based electricity and helps us achieve our sustainability goals.
At AlphaGem Bio, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. From product design to waste management, every step of our manufacturing process is geared toward minimizing our ecological footprint and dedicated to building a greener future for labware production.
