Pipetting with Purpose: Steps Towards More Sustainable Labs

Sustainability is becoming a critical focus in the scientific and clinical sectors, especially within laboratory operations where waste production can be a major issue.

In this webinar, we examine the pivotal role of sustainability and strategies for waste reduction in laboratory management and liquid handling. We also provide actionable information on how you can implement these practices in your own laboratory work. With a special emphasis on single-use consumables such as pipette tips.

Sartorius is committed to this challenge, enhancing manufacturing, and considering product life cycles to reduce waste. These initiatives are part of a larger shift towards more sustainable practices that emphasize the reduction of the environmental impact of everyday laboratory work.

We also discuss My Green Lab's initiatives, including the ACT ecolabel, which helps users choose lab products with a smaller ecological footprint.
