About this event
Did you know that the average Laboratory uses 5 times as much energy as the average office building? Sustainability can no longer afford to be seen as a trend, developing sustainable practices can become habits to be incorporated into many areas of life, and this includes in the lab.
There are many ways of improving sustainable practices within the industry, from going paperless to using and maintaining lab equipment effectively, to reducing plastic and water usage. At Lab Live: Sustainability edition we aim to highlight some of the leading sustainable practices, products and initiatives within the laboratory industry and give you practical advice on improving the environmental friendliness of your company.
With leading speakers from Green Light Laboratories, Kimberly-Clark and University College London, this event is one you won't want to miss.
