August Sustainable Products of the Month- Miele Glasswasher's and Purite Water Purifiers
For August, we couldn’t pick just one Sustainable Product of the Month, so we chose two! Both the Miele Professional Glasswashers and Purite Water Purifiers are standouts when it comes to combining lab-grade performance with meaningful environmental benefits. Trusted in academic and life science settings across the UK, these systems help laboratories reduce waste, conserve resources, and work more efficiently.
Miele Glasswashers – Sustainable Glassware Cleaning Without Compromise
In research and teaching labs, reliable glassware cleaning is non-negotiable. Miele Glasswashers are engineered for scientific environments and deliver outstanding cleaning while helping institutions meet sustainability targets.
Key sustainability benefits include:
• Low water and energy consumption through eco-programmes and intelligent load sensing
• Reduced detergent use thanks to smart dosing systems
• Durable design with long-life components to minimise equipment turnover and waste
Beyond the product, Miele has earned a Silver EcoVadis rating, placing it in the top 10% of companies globally for sustainability. Several lab models also carry the My Green Lab ACT label, a mark of excellence for low-impact lab equipment across energy, water, and materials use.
Purite Water Purifiers – Efficient Purity for Demanding Lab Applications
Water purification is a major resource draw in laboratory settings. Purite’s eco systems are designed not only to deliver reliable lab-grade water but also to do so with sustainability in mind.
Eco-focused features include:
• Up to 50% water recovery, significantly reducing waste
• Energy-saving standby modes that lower power use when idle
• Long-life consumables that cut down on waste and replacement frequency
Laboratories can waste up to 70% of their water consumption through inefficient purification systems. Choosing equipment with higher recovery rates and lower energy use is one of the most effective ways to make lab operations more sustainable.
Small Changes, Big Impact
Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing performance or compliance. By choosing efficient, long-lasting equipment like Miele glasswashers and Purite water purifiers, your lab can reduce its footprint, control costs, and align with institutional green targets.
