Recycle Week 2025 is here!

Now in its 22nd year, Recycle Week is Recycle Now’s flagship annual
event. A celebration of recycling across the nation and a push for recycling
as a whole.

At McQuilkin, we try our best to recycle where possible and encourage our
customers and suppliers to do the same.

Some ways in which we can help you recycle in your laboratory are:

1. Recycling of empty plastic and glass chemicals bottles.

2. Switching over to glassware to prevent the accumulation of single-use
plastics needing to be recycled.

3. Offering products which have been made from recycled plastics, e.g.
laboratory coats.

Get in touch with your Account Manager to discuss more ways in which we
can help you recycle in your lab!
