CP Lab Safety to Celebrate 25 Years of ECO Funnel

Novato, CA, April 24, 2021 --(PR.com)-- CP Lab Safety, a Woman Owned Small Business in Marin County, California, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of ECO Funnel®, their flagship product. ECO Funnel was invented by Dr. Ron Najafi, a synthetic organic chemist, in 1996. Originally called Safety Ecological Funnel, ECO Funnel was created to minimize hazardous fume emissions from open waste containers in the laboratory. Through the use of ECO Funnel, 99.9% of toxic emissions are eliminated, greatly reducing a lab’s environmental impact. Additionally, using ECO Funnel on chemical waste containers prevents accidental lab fires and improves employee safety.

To celebrate 25 years of keeping people healthy and safe, CP Lab Safety is announcing the arrival of the 4th generation of ECO Funnel. The new and improved ECO Funnel will become available to the public in the Summer 2021 and features a flat lid and sleeker design. Past generation ECO Funnels will still be available for a limited time.

Kelly Farhangi, CEO of CP Lab Safety, noted, “With the use of ECO Funnel over the last 25 years, it is estimated that ~ 271,000 gallons of mixed solvents were prevented from going into the atmosphere(1).”

CP Lab Safety has evolved from manufacturing a few ECO Funnels in 1996 to manufacturing and distributing over 100,000 products. The growth of CP Lab Safety has enabled the company to branch out into multiple new markets including construction, industrial and medical industries. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CP Lab Safety provided Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to facilities across the United States to help curb the spread of the virus. CP Lab Safety’s mission is to Keep People Healthy and Safe through innovative products will continue for generations to come.
