Sustainable Product Innovation

Sustainable product development

Avantor^® is rethinking how products and packaging are designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance. Our sustainable product and packaging guidelines help our teams consider sustainability across the entire product life cycle — from material selection and manufacturing efficiency to transportation, product use and end-of-life impacts. By assessing how one design choice influences outcomes across the value chain, we’re better equipped to create solutions that align with both customer needs and environmental responsibility.

This mindset is already driving results. For example, our Masterflex^® pumps are built for longevity, with easy-to-replace parts and repair services that extend product life and reduce waste. Our MasterSense^® drives now feature firmware updates via over-the-air technology, helping customers keep devices current without replacing hardware. Our J.T.Baker^® Cell Lysis, Endonuclease and Viral Inactivation Solutions are readily biodegradable to provide sustainable and scalable purification process solutions. These initiatives reflect our commitment to designing with intent — delivering more sustainable solutions at scale.
