How to make labs more sustainable

Posted by Teodora Andreea Rînciog, on 27 January 2025

Due to the high interest in learning more about making labs more environmentally- friendly, we decided to offer you an insight into what sustainable practices we can include in the lab. Therefore, we had invited Jeroen Dobbelaere to be a guest author for our newest series of blogs entitled “How to make labs more sustainable”. In this series, Jeroen will offer practical tips and information about resources that can help you make your lab greener. It will cover aspects such as energy usage, equipment and procurement.

See the first two blogs that we have already posted, which include advice on how to manage energy usage in your lab more sustainably and an overall view of academia’s impact on the environment.

Jeroen is a Sustainability Manager at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria and a lecturer at the University of Vienna. Check out his biography here.
