Packaging End-of-Life
EU: Priorclave uses oxo-biodegradable bubble wrap, plastic stretch film, and a wooden crate to package and ship its products with the EU market. The oxo-biodegradable bubble wrap has been tested by the supplier to be in conformance with ASTMD6954 and has a dwell time of 9-12 months followed by a micro-fragmentation period of 6-12 months. The crate is readily recyclable while the plastic stretch film is either landfilled, recycled or incinerated depending on available infrastructure.
UK: Priorclave uses oxo-biodegradable bubble wrap to package and ship its products within the UK market. The oxo-biodegradable bubble wrap has been tested by the supplier to be in conformance with ASTMD6954 and has a dwell time of 9-12 months followed by a micro-fragmentation period of 6-12 months.
Product End-of-Life
The Priorclave autoclave is primarily made out of copper and stainless steel. At the product's end-of-life, these materials are readily recyclable in the US market; in the EU and UK markets, the product is disposed of according to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU).
Innovation
Priorclave has engaged with a carrier service that participates in a carbon offset program to distribute the autoclaves to the end user. As of February 2020, the carrier achieved 200 Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) which equates to an offset of 200 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
