How to make labs more sustainable

Posted by Teodora Andreea Rinciog, on 27 January 2025

Would you like to learn more about how to make your lab greener? We are excited to offer you insight into what sustainable action you can put into practice in the lab.

Jeroen Dobbelaere is our guest author for our newest series of blogs entitled “How to make labs more sustainable”. In this series, Jeroen will introduce you to useful advice and resources that can help you make your lab more environmentally- friendly. It will include aspects such as energy usage, lab equipment selection and procurement.

The first two blogs of this series have already been published and they include tips on how to manage energy usage in your lab more sustainably, but also provide the big picture of the overall environmental impact of our academic work .

With Jeroen’s broad experience in both sustainability and academia, his blogs will be a great primer on how to combine these aspects. See more about Jeroen here.
