#SustainableScience might not be on your mind, but take a look at our #labwaste Christmas🎄2020 vs 2019. Non-recyclable plastic waste is a large part of our waste stream at #Vision1 @teagasc, so we changed to Rainin tips @Anachem which are 100% recyclable...
The other reason for our smaller (cuter) tree is #COVID19 Silver lining🌈? No weigh boats ordered since 2018, 10,000 unit reduction in inoculation loops and reuse of pipette tips for non sterile work ♻️💪
Can we do more? YES. The most important part will be monitoring the impact that changes in practices/procurement have. Suppliers need to do better. Shout out to Elaine Lawton, @sligomicrobe and @pauldcotter for keeping #Vision1 green. To the tree builders past and present 🙏
If you have ideas or experience for incorporating sustainable practices into the lab please let us know!
