THE FUTURE OF LAB WASTE ISN’T “LESS WASTE.” IT’S CIRCULARITY:

Walk into any lab in America and you’ll see the same thing: mountains of plastic. Pipette tips, tubes, plates, films, wrappers, nitrile gloves, and amber glass. Every tool scientists rely on is designed for one moment of precision—and then an eternity of disposal.

For years, everyone accepted this as the cost of safety. But the model is breaking.

Waste volumes are ballooning, costs are rising, and ESG expectations are no longer optional.

The world is calling for a new playbook. NETZERO360™ Sustainable Waste Solutions is that playbook.

Why the Old System No Longer Works

Single-use plastics aren’t the villain, they’re essential.But they were never designed for circularity. Under traditional systems:

• Most lab plastics go straight to landfill or incineration.

• “Downcycled” products often return to the waste stream just as fast.

• Labs pay more for regulated waste even as sustainability targets tighten.

• Compliance teams juggle OSHA, CLIA, CAP, EPA, and municipal rules without real data.

The gap between what labs need—and what the old system can deliver—is widening.

NETZERO360™ closes that gap with a fully engineered circular model.

The NETZERO360™  Sustainable Waste Solutions Difference

Here’s what happens when your lab waste enters our system:

sort → wash → shred → wash → densify → pelletize → long-life products

A fully circular loop, clean, compliant, and auditable. You get:

✔ measurable CO₂ & GHG reduction

✔ lower regulated waste cost

✔ full diversion reporting

✔ OSHA/EPA/CLIA/CAP alignment

✔ safe, scalable operations

✔ true circularity—not downcycling

Your plastics don’t end up as pollution. They end up as long-life products that keep carbon out of the atmosphere.

Compliance First. Sustainability Always.

NETZERO360™  Sustainable Waste Solutions was designed with the realities of:

• OSHA

• EPA

• CLIA

• CAP

• State-level medical waste rules

• New ESG mandates, including reporting under SB 253 and SB 261

You get circularity without compliance risk. Your team stays safe. Your data stays transparent. Your reporting becomes stronger.

When labs partner with NETZERO360™ Sustainable Waste Solutions , they aren’t choosing a recycling vendor.They’re choosing an operational advantage.

Live at RCon 2025 — The Sector Is Watching

NETZERO360™ Sustainable Waste Solutions is on the ground at RCon 2025, the Solid Waste Association of North America’s flagship event. It’s where the nation’s top innovators in recycling, materials recovery, and circular systems gather to shape what’s next.

As one of the youngest teams in the room, we’re showing how healthcare and biotech waste become part of a verified circular pathway.

How contaminated lab plastics turn into long-life materials. How post-shredded medical waste safely re-enters circular value chainsHow diversion reduces GHG footprints. How ESG reporting gets stronger with real data. How national networks can adopt circular compliance.

The industry knows the truth: healthcare and biotech waste are the next frontier of circularity—and NETZERO360™  Sustainable Waste Solutions is already building the path.

One Question for Every Lab Leader

Are you paying for plastics twice, once to buy them, and again to throw them away?

Or are you ready to turn your lab waste into long-life materials that protect your budget, your people, and the planet?

♻️ From lab waste to long-life products, this is true circularity.
