Greener Choice
Giving You Greener Choices
Striving to protect and preserve the environment and helping you do the same is one of our commitments to you. The Greener Choice program identifies products with verified sustainability attributes using recognized third-party information.
Products qualify for Greener Choice based on the My Green Lab® ACT™ Ecolabel, an independent environmental certification designed specifically for laboratory products. Products with an ACT Ecolabel Environmental Performance Factor of 40 or higher qualify for the Greener Choice designation.

Understanding the ACT Ecolabel
The Greener Choice icon helps you identify qualifying products at a glance. The ACT Ecolabel provides the underlying environmental performance information to help you understand and compare those products.
How to Use the ACT Ecolabel
The ACT Ecolabel uses a science-based, 100-point weighted score, with details on product impacts such as energy use, materials, chemical hazards, end-of-use options, and product carbon footprint – plus an evaluation of the manufacturing facility and company commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The label displays these attributes with color-coded scoring, grouped for easy visualization, making data easy to assess.
Products receive an Environmental Performance Factor based on performance across the attributes. To enable quick and easy identification of product performance, the ACT Ecolabel provides performance tiers (bronze, silver, gold, platinum and green).
