Beta Carbin Instructions

Polycarbin’s Beta Carbin is our expanded service for partners everywhere who want to join the circular economy and increase their impact by circularizing their rigid lab plastics. When you order a Masterpack, five Carbins (either clear or color) will be sent along with prepaid shipping labels.

The Beta Carbin is rigid lab plastics only. The material needs to be separated into natural, non-dyed, “clear” plastic and non-clear, “color” material and placed in the appropriate bin. This material must be non-hazardous and non-infectious, rinsed and dried before placing it in the bin.
