4" ECO Funnel® with 38-430mm cap adapter for 38mm bottles

ECO Funnel® is the original screw-on safety funnel with a lid for laboratory waste disposal. Each model fits a specific container. This 4" ECO Funnel is designed to fit heavy-duty plastic bottles with a 38-430 closure or a glass jug with a GL38 or 38-439 closure. (Please note: when using on glass, gently secure the funnel without over-tightening, to avoid damage to the blue screw cap.) Designed by CP Lab Safety, ECO Funnels feature a specialized tube, latching lid, and inner gasket to keep waste fumes contained. A removable large particle filter catches stir bars or other items. The waste tube extends into the waste container to minimize chemical evaporation, even when the lid is open. It traps the vapor inside the bottle, prevents the user from breathing hazardous fumes, minimizes the risk of lab fires from volatile fumes, and reduces the environmental impact of waste chemicals.

The ECO Funnel is the ultimate lab safety product for collection of hazardous liquid waste. Its unique, patented design performs two functions, acting as both a sealed waste container and also as a solvent funnel. The 4" ECO Funnel® is made of HDPE and has a 450 mL fluid capacity. Each solvent waste funnel model has a custom screw cap which secures it to a specific waste container. The lid has a closed-cell HDPE gasket and a sturdy latch to ensure it remains securely closed. A removable filter is also built into the interior to reduce the loss of stir bars or other large particles in the waste liquid. The ECO Funnel is a pass-through system, meaning chemicals are not sitting in the funnel for any length of time, so its HDPE construction is compatible with most solvents including those that need to be stored in glass.

ECO Funnel FAQ

Does the ECO Funnel® comply with regulations for emissions from open waste containers?
Yes. The primary function of the ECO Funnel is to reduce the emission of volatile solvents to near zero, while providing a convenient way to handle temporary waste in the lab.

Are there any chemicals that should be avoided when using the ECO Funnel®?
Yes, you should avoid strong acids, bases and oxidizers that can jeopardize HDPE.

Can the ECO Funnel® be kept on the waste bottle 24 hrs a day?
We recommend that the ECO Funnel be removed from a waste container when not in use, just like any other funnel. They are for the collection of temporary waste only. Waste should be frequently transferred to a more permanent waste container for optimum safety.
