RecycleLab is a waste management company specialising in the recycling of single-use plastic waste generated by the science & healthcare industries.
Each year 1 university life science department produces approximately 260 tonnes of plastic waste, with 1 scientist generating nearly 1 tonne alone! RecycleLab's mission is to divert this plastic waste from being incinerated or sent to landfill and create a circular economy, dramatically reducing carbon emissions and creating a more sustainable science industry.
The global bioscience industry generates the equivalent of 67 cruise liners full of plastic waste every year. RecycleLab's vision is to enable 100% of this plastic waste to be recycled and for there to be 0 cruise liners full of plastic!
