How to Make Informed Choices About Sustainable Lab Consumables

Practical Insights and Evidence-Based Resources to Cut Plastic Waste, Understand Biobased Materials, Balance Quality and Sustainability, and Measure Your Lab’s Carbon Savings

Register for free tips, case studies, and white papers delivered weekly to your inbox.

This 7-part email series is your guide to making informed, practical choices about sustainable lab consumables.

Each email combines research-based insights with actionable advice and downloadable resources designed for bioscience researchers, postdocs, and lab managers working to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining high-quality results.

Whether you’re exploring more sustainable solutions or reporting on your lab’s carbon footprint, this series will help you:

  • Apply simple, practical tips to reduce plastic waste in your lab without disrupting workflows
  • Explore how smarter lab design can improve both sustainability and workflow efficiency
  • Learn what biobased plastics are (and what they aren’t), and why not all “eco-friendly” options deliver the same reliability
  • Understand how consumable quality impacts reproducibility, costs, and outcomes
  • Detect and prevent analyte loss from adsorption in sensitive applications like proteomics
  • Calculate and communicate the carbon savings of switching to biobased consumables using Eppendorf’s CO₂ calculator

You’ll also get access to:

  • White papers on sustainability, biobased plastics, and consumable quality
  • Application notes and data-driven case studies
  • Tools like the Carbon Emission Saving Calculator to support internal reporting and purchasing decisions

Join the series and discover how to balance sustainability and performance in your lab consumables, without compromise.
