Laboratories are extremely energy intensive, and require immense consumption of single-use items (often plastics). Much is being done to mitigate these effects, and make labs as green and sustainable as possible. In this talk, we’ll look at why sustainability is relevant in laboratories, and learn what initiatives are growing in the UK and EU. Attendees can expect to leave this webinar with these three key takeaways:
• General intro to lab sustainability/green labs
• Our perspective on the following:
1. Buildings and refurb
2. Procurement—equipment vs consumables (share the drivers, what we’re asking users to look for, what we’re doing in the UK/EU about this)
3. Lab operations, how people interact with the labs they use (LEAF)
• Real-life examples
