Additional Information
Manufacturing Impact Reduction
The Petaluma, CA manufacturing facility where the Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips are produced
has implemented energy, water, and waste reductions within the last 5 years. Some examples of this
include various equipment upgrades, a closed-loop water system, and a transition to hotrunner mold
machines to reduce scrap.
Renewable Energy Use
The Petaluma, CA manufacturing facility where the Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips are produced
has an on-site solar energy system that can produce anywhere from 800,000 to 1.2 million kWh of
renewable energy annually.
Responsible Chemical Management
The Petaluma, CA manufacturing facility where the Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips are produced
has a robust Environmental Management System (EMS) program. Furthermore, the Agilent Bravo disposable
pipette tips do not contain any substances of concern as defined by ILFI's Red List, EU REACH SVHC, or
GreenScreen Benchmark-1 chemicals.
Shipping Impact
The Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips are manufactured in California, USA. For the US market, the
Bravo pipette tips are distributed via Agilent's distribution center in Memphis, TN. For the EU and UK
markets, the Bravo pipette tips are distributed via Agilenta??s distribution center in Germany.
Product Content
Most of the Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips do not contain sustainable content as they are made
of virgin resin. For the SKUs that do contain recycled content, they have been
dematerialized and are manufactured using raw materials that contain biobased content as defined by
ASTM D6866 and / or pre-consumer recycled content.
Packaging Content
The Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips are packaged using shrink wrap and / or cardboard boxes.
The cardboard boxes contain recycled content, resulting in a minimum of at least 20% by weight of
sustainable content in the overall packaging system.
Energy Consumption
The Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips do not consume energy during the use phase.
Water Consumption
The Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips do not consume water during the use phase
Lifetime Rating
The Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips are single-use with a short use-phase (one-time use).
However, the racks and lids that hold the pipette tips may be used multiple times.
Packaging End-of-Life
Over 90% by weight of the Agilent pipette tips packaging is cardboard, which is readily recyclable
across the US, EU, and UK markets. Shrink wrap can be recyclable, but it is not readily recyclable in
every area. Agilent provides further education to customers on the recyclability of these materials.
Please follow your organization's recycling protocols to dispose of these materials properly.
Product End-of-Life
Agilent Bravo disposable pipette tips are generally disposed of in a landfill or follow specific
waste disposal protocols. The plastic materials that hold the tips, however, could be recycled in the
US, EU and UK markets. Agilent provides further education to customers on the recyclability of these
materials. Please follow your organization's waste guidelines to dispose of each material within this
product properly.
Innovative Practices
The facility that manufactures the Agilent pipette tips has built an on-site e-beam sterilizer for
sterile products, which eliminates radioactive waste creation and avoids additional shipping.
