What Can You Do?

• VWR offers its customers the choice of paper or cd version of the VWR General Catalog.
• VWR offers an interactive, online version of VWR Catalogs.

Consolidate Your Orders

Consolidating orders helps reduce deliveries which can help reduce emissions/fossil fuels, lower packaging waste, save paper and energy, and may also help reduce receiving costs and freight charges.

• Consolidate Orders, combine purchases for higher order totals and limit to once per day/week.
• Purchase multiple item packs.
•  Increase item lines in a single order.
• Order in larger quantities.

Order Electronically

Ordering electronically saves paper, decreases order processing time and reduces paper waste.

• Order online: vwr.com (24 hrs/7 days a week).
• Use EDI/XML transmission standards.
• Consider choosing products that are energy efficient, recyclable, reusable or made with recycled content.

Download Literature & Technical Documents
