Sustainability is no longer a future ambition — it is a present responsibility. Across the Asia-Pacific region, organisations are seeking practical ways to reduce environmental impact while maintaining high standards of performance, safety and reliability.
At Interpath Services, part of Bunzl Australia and New Zealand, sustainability is embedded in the way we operate. Our approach focuses on ethical sourcing, climate action and circular solutions that support customers in operating more responsibly while maintaining operational efficiency.
Sustainability at the Centre of the Value Chain
Being positioned at the centre of the supply chain allows Interpath to create meaningful impact. By working closely with both customers and suppliers, the company delivers practical and scalable solutions that strengthen supply chains while supporting sustainability goals.
Rather than taking a passive role, Interpath adopts a collaborative, hands-on approach —working side by side with partners to solve challenges and drive measurable outcomes across the industry.
Reducing Environmental Impact Across Operations
Operational sustainability remains a key priority. At the Somerton facility, a 99kW solar installation generates approximately 40% of the site’s energy consumption, demonstrating a clear commitment to reducing emissions while improving operational efficiency.
In addition to renewable energy initiatives, Interpath continues to pursue improvements that aim to:
- Reduce operational waste
- Improve energy efficiency
- Lower emissions across the supply chain
- Embed sustainability into everyday business practices
These initiatives ensure sustainability is not just part of strategy — it is integrated into daily operations.
Partnering with Responsible Suppliers
Meaningful progress in sustainability requires collaboration. Interpath partners with suppliers who share a strong commitment to environmental and ethical practices, enabling the delivery of high-quality solutions with a reduced environmental footprint.
Examples of these partnerships include:
Scientific Specialties (SSIBio): Reducing Plastic Impact
SSIBio products incorporate 61% post-consumer recycled resin and are manufactured without intentionally added PFAS. Their manufacturing processes also prioritise energy efficiency and waste reduction, with ESG performance monitored through EcoVadis and sustainability frameworks.
Sharpsafe: Circular Design for Healthcare Waste
Sharpsafe containers demonstrate how thoughtful product design can support sustainability.
Key features include:
- 100% recycled plastic base
- Quick, simple and secure assembly
- Nestable design for compact storage
- Greater capacity compared with competitors
- Puncture-resistant design with carry handle
These features support both operational efficiency and responsible waste management.
Greiner Bio-One: Verified Environmental Impact
Many Greiner Bio-One products have been independently verified through the ACT Environmental Impact Factor Label (ACT 2.0) programme.
The ACT label provides transparent and standardised information comparing the environmental impact of laboratory products, helping laboratories make more informed purchasing decisions.
Building a More Sustainable Future Together
Sustainability within the laboratory supply chain requires collaboration across manufacturers, suppliers and customers.
By prioritising responsible sourcing, efficient operations and environmentally conscious products, Interpath Services supports organisations across the Asia-Pacific region in achieving their sustainability goals.
Together, we can build supply chains that are not only efficient and reliable — but also better for the environment.
