Proteintech Sustainability Initiative
Join our mission to reduce waste, supporting the sustainability of our planet and the continual advancement of science.
Improvements to Packaging
We've transitioned to cotton-based packaging, designed to minimize environmental impact without compromising quality or delivery reliability.
- Less space, less waste: Our cotton packaging is compact and reduces landfill volume
- Reusable cotton pouches: Repurpose them in your lab or at home, or send them back for reuse
- By switching from Styrofoam to cotton-based packaging, Proteintech reduces non-degradable waste by up to 90% annually, cuts CO, emissions by 60%, and significantly decreases shipping volume and landfill impact
- Reliable delivery: Products still arrive on time and at a safe temperature
Instructions
-
1
Save your packaging
After unpacking your order, keep the cotton pouch instead of discarding it.

Choose your return option
A. Request a return label if you’re ready to send your used cotton pouches back now; or
B. Alternatively, you can request a return box, which is designed to collect multiple pouches over time. Once it’s full, you can ship it back all at once.

Pack and ship
Use the provided label or return box to send the pouches back to Proteintech.

We reuse it
Returned packaging is cleaned, sanitized, and put back into circulation, helping us cut down on non-degradable waste and promote a circular packaging system.
FAQ
Do I need to return all the packaging from my shipment, or just the blue pouch?
It’s completely up to you. You can return the reusable blue pouch on its own or send back all the packaging your shipment arrived in.
