Understand your lab's waste. Unlock opportunities to reduce, recycle, and rethink.
Laboratories are critical to scientific discovery, but they also generate a significant amount of single-use plastic and other waste. Many labs are unaware of just how much waste they produce, or how much of it could be avoided, reused, or recycled.
A laboratory waste audit is the first step in identifying waste streams, pinpointing inefficiencies, and creating a roadmap for more sustainable lab practices. Whether you're aiming for LEAF, My Green Lab certification, or simply want to reduce your environmental impact, a waste audit can guide your lab in the right direction.
Our waste audits are tailored to the science and healthcare industries.
We’ll work with your team to assess:
✅ Types of waste generated (e.g. plastic consumables, packaging, PPE, chemical containers)
✅ Waste volumes and current disposal methods
✅ Opportunities for waste reduction and segregation
✅ Recyclability of materials and suitability for RecycleLab’s recycling service
✅ Recommendations for improving lab sustainability and preparing for green certifications
We provide you with a clear, actionable Waste Audit Report, complete with suggestions for reduction, recycling, and longer-term improvements.
