SAVING PLASTIC SINCE 1998
Made in a factory powered 100% by wind power, Starlab's TipOne® is the original pipette tip system designed to save single-use plastic.
REUSE! The tip racks are designed to be reused over and over again with our plastic-saving refill packs.
REFILL! Use the economical refills to save on single-use plastic.
RECYCLE! All system components are made from recyclable polypropylene (except the HDPE bag for loose tips).
Together with our partner REMONDIS Group you can recycle the TipOne® plastic packaging so it can have a second life.

FAQs
Q: I used the previous recycling service, what has changed?
A: The main difference is that recycling must now be returned in boxes only - no bags.
The new process via Remondis provides you with the self-serve convenience of organising your own collections via an online portal, as and when needed.
Q: What is the cost of using this service?
A: The recycling service remains free of charge for all Starlab UK TipOne® customers located in England, Wales or Scotland. The service is not currently available in Northern Ireland (sorry!).
"I am often asked how we, as a manufacturer of plastic products, can be sustainable at all. Well, our TipOne® products can be reused, refilled and recycled too. Join us and register right now with our new TipOne® recycling service in UK!"
