The future
of testing:
safe. unique. plastic-free.

Our vision

Plastic and its disposal are among the greatest challenges of our time. This is precisely where GreenCheck has found a solution: we produce medical tests based on the developments of our cooperation partner, Protzek Biotec GmbH – plastic-free, sustainable, safe.

By recognizing the problems of plastic waste and it's strain on health and the environment, GreenCheck has replaced plastic with sustainable materials made from renewable resources (cardboard). With this innovative technology and our regional production we’ve minimized carbon footprint, upscaled efficiency and gained the same high quality result as conventional plastic.

Every year, millions of plastic packaging from the medical industry end up in the waste – and when incinerated, they release harmful chemicals and toxic gases that pollute our air and our climate. A significant portion of this plastic waste finds its way into our oceans, where it poses a deadly threat to marine life and disbalances whole ecosystems. Many dye an agonizing death by swallowing or entanglement. Microplastic has also disrupted our food chain, ultimately harming the health of millions. Greencheck is rethinking the way we test –
simple, sustainable, and forward-looking.

Our vision

A world without plastic starts with a small test

Plastic is one of the biggest challenges of our time. It pollutes our oceans, endangers animals and has long-term effects on our environment. But the future could be different – and it all begins with smallest changes. Greencheck offers a solution.

Why GreenCheck?

We are driven by sustainability. We have developed a system that significantly reduces plastic consumption. Our packaging is made of cellulose (cardboard) and does not contain unneeded plastic. Our unique packaging system replaces plastic with cellulose cardboards and by doing so minimizes the waste of plastic up to (97%) compared with the markets standards The European Environment Agency (EEA) confirms that reducing plastic in the medical industry is essential to minimizing the annual plastic waste of around 12 million tons (EEA, 2023).

The future of testing:

GreenCheck is leading an environmentally friendly revolution. Our goal is to establish plastic-free alternatives in the medical industry to redefine the standard for sustainable testing.

Our goal:

Our Long Term strategy is to establish GreenCheck as the standard for medicinal testing. We continuously strive to develop and refine our system by working alongside scientists and Institutions.

The GreenCheck-Technology

A small idea with a big impact

GreenCheck has an innovative cellulose-based case (housing) that replaces plastic up to 97%. Our tests are easy to use, safe in diagnoses and environmentally friendly. By using renewable organic materials, we sustainably reduce plastic waste.

GreenCheck can be used for all possible lateral flow tests (or LFTs), including pregnancy tests, virus tests and drug tests.

Each test kit is specially optimized for its application and meets the highest quality standards.

*Lateral-Flow-Tests (LFTs)rapid, easy-to-use diagnostic tests, often used to detect pathogens or biomarkers in fluids such as saliva, blood or urine.

GreenCheck sets new standards in diagnostics – environmentally friendly, safe and accurate. While conventional tests are sold in a completely plastic-based packaging, we have developed a patented solution: the GreenCheck packaging is made of sustainable pulp (cardboard) – plastic-free and resource-saving. The test itself remains of the same high quality, as precise and safe as before.

The innovative packaging technology of GreenCheck is a patented process that ensures safe storage and hygienic use of the tests. This protected technology is internationally registered and patented in several countries.

Our commitment

Test with a clear conscience - Our contribution to environmental protection

The medical sector generates tons of plastic waste every year. According to a study by the WHO, up to 40% of plastic waste in the healthcare sector comes from disposable packaging (WHO, 2023). With GreenCheck, we are making a concrete contribution to reducing plastic waste and focusing on sustainable alternatives.
