In recent years, the global green laboratory movement has developed rapidly. Certification systems such as My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel have covered more than 2,200 kinds of laboratory products, providing standardized third-party environmental impact data for procurement decisions. Sustainability has changed from a qualitative brand image to a quantifiable procurement evaluation indicator, which is increasingly affecting the supplier selection of laboratories and enterprises.
For weighing instruments, the evaluation dimensions of green procurement are mainly reflected in three aspects. First is the energy consumption in use: low-power chips and energy-saving operation modes can reduce the long-term power consumption of equipment that is powered on for a long time, which is in line with the low-carbon operation goal of laboratories. Second is the environmental protection of materials: the use of recyclable engineering plastics and reduced application of harmful substances can reduce the environmental impact of equipment at the end of its life cycle. Third is the sustainability of the production process: green manufacturing systems and low-carbon production lines have gradually become important items for purchasers to inspect suppliers.
At present, European and American pharmaceutical companies, university laboratories and large testing institutions have taken the lead in incorporating green indicators into the procurement evaluation system. Industry analysts predict that by 2028, more than 40% of global laboratory instrument procurement will include clear sustainability requirements, which will force the entire instrument manufacturing industry to carry out green transformation.
As a professional precision balance manufacturer, Hochoice has laid out green manufacturing at an early stage. In terms of product design, low-power chips and energy-saving display modules are adopted; in terms of structural materials, recyclable engineering plastics are widely used; in terms of production links, energy-saving transformation of production lines and optimization of packaging materials have been completed. While ensuring high precision and high stability of products, we continuously reduce the carbon footprint of the whole product life cycle, and actively respond to the global green laboratory procurement trend with practical actions.
