As one of the world's largest manufacturers of instruments and reagents for water analysis, HACH LANGE has a duty to create the most environmentally friendly system possible for the management of chemical waste resulting from the use of its products. Dismissing less sustainable options, the company has invested heavily in a state of the art Environment Centre that handles waste reagents, bottles, cuvettes and packaging from all over Europe. Outside of HACH LANGE, most laboratory waste is transferred to treatment facilities that handle a wide variety of hazardous materials. As such, it is not possible for such facilities to operate as efficiently as the HACH LANGE plant because of the diversity of chemicals in the waste. Some companies relinquish their responsibility for waste treatment by sending waste reagents to incinerators. HACH LANGE does not support this action for environmental reasons.
