Miele Professional, a leader in high performance commercial appliances, is pleased to announce that it has received My Green Lab’s ACT ecolabel accreditation for the PG 8583 Undercounter and the PLW 8617 Large Chamber laboratory glasswashers.

The glasswashers, which are suitable for laboratories of any size, are built with sustainability in mind. Both are designed to be highly efficient, offering resource-saving performance. With a combination of time-saving programmes, spacious cabinets, and durable construction, they reduce carbon footprints while delivering exceptional wash results.

For example, the PLW 8617 washer uses up to 60% less water per load compared to previous models; whereas the PG 8583 washer, despite its smaller size, can process up to 128 laboratory bottles per cycle, reducing resource consumption per unit cleaned.

The My Green Lab ACT ecolabel accreditation is the world’s premier ecolabel for laboratory products and is awarded to solutions that meet high sustainable and environmental standards. It was designed to verify third-party information and help scientists, lab professionals and procurement specialists be clear about the environmental impacts of products.

It emphasises Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT) around product manufacturing, energy sourcing, product content, resource use, packaging, durability, and end-of-life recycling options. ACT-labelled items have been independently audited by Verico and are published in a publicly available database by My Green Lab.

Nadine Bellamy-Thomas, National Account Manager at Miele Professional, commented: “Sustainability is an important consideration for lab professionals when choosing products. This is expected to become even more critical to purchase decisions due to growing awareness surrounding environmental impacts and broader governmental goals. We’re proud to design and manufacture laboratory solutions that can support this, helping labs progress on their sustainability journeys. This further enhances our pledge of developing products that leave the least impact on the environment.”

Miele Professional glasswashers are tested up to 20,000 cycles to ensure durability and reliability over time. This rigorous testing standard ensures that the washers can perform efficiently for many years, making them a long-lasting and sustainable option for commercial and laboratory use.
