Sustainable By Design

Battery Free. Waste Free. Worry Free.

NexTemp® thermometers work without batteries or electronics, just simple, proven science. That means over 90% less waste than digital thermometers and no harmful materials to recycle.

Smarter for You, and the Planet

Choosing single-use thermometers isn’t just simple; it’s a smarter choice for the environment and public health. NexTemp® thermometers are made with minimal materials, require no batteries or electronics, and can be safely discarded without special recycling.

A Smarter, More Sustainable Choice

Simple. Safe. Sustainable.

  • Less Waste: Compact and lightweight — each box holds 100 thermometers, and a full case holds 2,000, reducing material use and shipping impact.
  • No Batteries. No Electronics. Just accurate, safe readings without the extra waste.
  • Low Plastic, Big Impact: Uses a fraction of the plastic found in digital thermometers.
  • Clean and Chemical-Free: No probe covers, wipes, or harsh disinfectants needed.
  • Made for Everyone, Everywhere: Works without electricity — perfect for homes, clinics, and remote communities.

Smarter for the Environment and for Public Health

Switching to single-use thermometers isn’t just about convenience, it supports a circular economy by favoring products that require less to produce, and are easier to dispose of responsibly.

Batteries create long-term environmental harm, and disposing of them correctly is a challenge. They leak
toxic chemicals, contribute to e-waste, and require special recycling methods that most people don’t follow.
