Sustainable Laboratories
As industry and manufacturing increasingly look towards science and research institutions to facilitate a pathway to sustainable products and working practices, researchers themselves have become increasingly aware of their own environmental footprint, and as a consequence, the need for individuals and organisations to make changes.
Sustainable best practice for laboratories is a current area of need to reduce carbon footprint by addressing such issues as waste production and energy consumption.
Laboratories are found in a variety of settings, from universities and research institutes, to hospitals and companies; and serve several functions such as analysis, research and teaching which in itself will involve wet and dry facilities as well as computation.
Rejuvetech - assessing your laboratory sustainability practices and needs
Laboratories tend to be part of organisations which are under increasing pressure for carbon accounting such as the NHS and universities. In chemistry and the disciplines it interfaces with, research often relies upon high energy use, water consumption, single-use plastics, reagents and solvents.
As a green chemistry company, Rejuvetech is well placed to assess your laboratory sustainability practices and needs, advising on energy saving practices and equipment as well as alternative chemicals; when starting a research programme consider how to avoid the waste at the end of the process, rather than how to dispose of the waste you may not need to produce at all. Rejuvetech can work with you to improve best laboratory practice, save energy, improve productivity and assist towards signposting ways to reduce the environmental impact of laboratory processes.
