Responsibility to the world around us never stops: it’s in the selection of eco-friendly materials, in the manufacturing processes that make efficient use of resources, in packaging and in logistics. As a manufacturer and supplier of chemicals and labware for research and production, Carl ROTH places great importance on protecting the environment – and this major supplier to laboratories not only thinks green, but acts green too.

Wherever possible, Carl ROTH turns to sustainable solutions, such as packing boxes made from plant-based materials using minimal energy and water, or delivery note pockets made from tissue paper. Plus, when it comes to expanding the product portfolio itself, sustainability is as important a consideration as product quality and user friendliness. The growing range therefore incorporates not only classic products, but also an increasing number of sustainable products – for example, eco-friendly alternatives to harmful chemicals, consumption materials from sustainable raw materials and a campaign promoting the repair of devices.

To help the customers choose, Carl ROTH provides transparent information in the form of its very own evaluation system – the ROTH for Future Score. This rating system takes into account a large number of sustainability criteria, which are weighted differently depending on their environmental relevance. From ecological compatibility to product properties, manufacturing and transport practices, through to reusability and disposal – each criterion is carefully examined and assessed according to its impact on the environment. Once evaluated, the products are awarded a test certification, categorised into Basic, Bronze, Silver or Gold.

This way, Carl ROTH provides transparent and in-depth insights into the sustainability scores of its products, making it quick and easy for customers to identify alternatives and make informed and environmentally conscious choices. For further information see carlroth.com/com/en/Nachhaltigkeit.
