Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! Today, we encourage you to collect and reuse plastic bags that come with consumables, kits and other lab materials. These can have a second life as bin liners, or for storing/shipping materials. #greenlabs

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday - this week's tip is about reusing aluminium foil! Try setting up a collection point in the lab for clean foil, which can be reused for autoclaving, wrapping light-sensitive solutions, or anything else you can think of ♻️

Another week, another #SustainabilityTipTuesday! Our tip this week is to make sure energy-intensive equipment is switched off whenever it isn't in use. You wouldn't leave your oven, tumble dryer or iron running all night at home, and lab equipment is no different⚡
