Charles River Laboratories International Inc. has announced a new recycling program in collaboration with TerraCycle, aimed at reducing single-use plastic waste in laboratories. The initiative focuses on recycling plastic cartridges used in Charles River's Endosafe® bacterial endotoxin testing for routine water testing. The program will be rolled out in July, starting at the company's Microbial Solutions site in Charleston, South Carolina, and will be available to cartridge customers in the United States and select European countries. Participants will collect used cartridges in a provided Zero Waste Box™ and return them to TerraCycle for recycling. The recycled materials will be repurposed into new products, such as outdoor furniture and storage bins. This program is part of Charles River's broader sustainability efforts.
