Day 1: 27th May @ 14:00

Championing Sustainability Across the Lifecycle of Laboratory Devices

How can research laboratories shift from a linear “buy-use-discard” approach to a more circular economy model for their devices? Transitioning from a linear to a circular model requires rethinking how these assets are managed throughout their lifecycle. This talk integrates laboratory management, quality considerations, and sustainability initiatives to demonstrate how the Value Hill framework can uncover opportunities for value retention and optimization. Supportive emerging solutions will be highlighted, including My Green Lab’s and I2SL’s Freezer Challenge. Evotec’s active participation demonstrates how improved practices related to ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers can reduce environmental impact while safeguarding performance and compliance.
