Sustainability is an increasingly important topic within the scientific community, touching on many critical factors — especially when it comes to laboratory consumables. Plastic remains a staple in laboratories worldwide, valued for its purity, sterility, and convenience. However, its environmental impact is significant, driven by finite oil resources and mounting plastic waste.
To address these challenges, SLS is proud to partner with Eppendorf in an upcoming webinar that dives deep into the heritage of plastic in the lab and the sustainable alternatives available today.
Led by Dr. Jan Bebermeier, Global Marketing Manager for Sustainability at Eppendorf, this session will explore the true carbon footprint of plastic lab consumables and evaluate practical options such as biobased and recycled materials.
Key topics to be covered include:
- Strategies to reduce waste generation in laboratory environments
- The potential and limitations of biobased alternatives to conventional plastics
- Understanding the carbon footprint associated with different materials
- Best practices for recycling plastic consumables to minimise environmental impact
This webinar offers valuable insights for anyone involved in laboratory operations, procurement, or sustainability initiatives, providing guidance on how to balance lab performance requirements with environmental responsibility.
Join us on 11th September 2025 at 1:00 PM to learn more about shaping a more sustainable future in the lab.
