Design
Every small step you take to increase Sustainability in the Lab helps, If you are in the enviable position of building a laboratory from start to finish then you can address a number of sustainable ideas from the beginning.
Find products that are designed with digital technolagy - made specifically to reduce excessive or even uneccessary use of your equipment. Monitoring sensors are another fabulous tool for monitoring equipment when in the laboratory but now also available for remote monitoring when you are not on site!
Buy from manufacturers who consider the entire life cycle of lab supplies in their design process.
Reuse
Plastic consumables are often the best choice for your lab, especially those you can reuse again and again. Many of our products are made from polypropylene and polyethylene which are recyclable plastics.
Sustainable Products
Select an environmentally-minded supplier, by doing so you’re choosing to reduce your lab’s environmental impact on the world.
Our E3 Drying Cabinet is a perfect example of cost savings for your laboratory with a number of case studies available for review:
Energy Efficiency
Check your equipment’s energy consumption, emissions levels and heat output over the past year. Are you running equipment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Even worse, when it’s not actively in use?
Our Sales Managers can offer expert advice to help minimize your lab’s footprint while maintaining performance. You will hopefully have already seen our Drying Cabinet example above - Digital Timers make a huge difference, as does the insulation provided in the E3 Drying cabinets. You can also monitor equipment with a predictive maintenance device (We have such a device From Koolzone), put equipment on timers to shut off at night, use sleep modes, buy energy efficient equipment, and close your chemical fume hood!
Low-impact packaging & shipping
Is your supplier reducing its carbon footprint through packaging material reductions and sustainable shipping procedures, or products that require minimal packaging, like reusable plastic labware.
