RecycleReturn Instrument Program

On this page:

Modernize your IC system. Support sustainability.

Is your ion chromatography (IC) system out of support? Take advantage of the Thermo Scientific RecycleReturn Instrument Program to upgrade to a modern, state-of-the-art IC system while responsibly managing the removal and recycling of your old system.

 

With RecycleReturn, Thermo Fisher Scientific will accept and coordinate the removal of most IC systems, regardless of manufacturer, subject to program eligibility requirements and terms. Using pre-printed shipping labels, your outdated equipment will be shipped using established safety logistics procedures directly to the recycler for final disposal.


Benefits of RecycleReturn

Upgrading to a modern, state-of-the-art system designed to support continuity, reliability, and confidence in your lab operations helps minimize downtime—on your schedule, not the instrument’s. With RecycleReturn, your lab will experience:

  • Increase productivity and confidence in your results by reducing instrument downtime and improving reproducibility with the latest IC technology
  • A simplified upgrade process by recycling your out-of-support IC instrument as part of your new instrument purchase
  • Responsible recycling by sending eligible Thermo Scientific Dionex or competitor IC instruments directly to a recycling facility
  • Lower long-term service costs by replacing an out-of-support instrument with a new IC system backed by a three-year warranty
