Sustainability has become an integral part of the laboratory. But where do you start, and what can you concretely do to become more sustainable? Are you already on your way, or do you still need to start? Five companies with expertise in sustainable lab solutions share their practical tips and tricks that you can put into practice immediately.

From Chemical Waste to Valuable Raw Materials. Discover the Future of Recycling

The laboratory sector produces large quantities of chemical waste daily, often containing valuable raw materials that are lost. But what if there was another way? Actu-All is currently working on an innovative recycling method that recovers a significant portion of this chemical waste and converts it into reusable raw materials. Not waste, but a smart, circular solution that makes both an ecological and an economic difference.

Every choice counts: sustainability throughout the entire lab chain

True sustainability requires insight into the entire lab chain: from product selection to the waste phase. Boom helps you move forward by determining in which specific situation the greatest impact can be achieved. Think of more sustainable alternatives, less waste, smarter logistics, and more conscious usage by employees. No theory, but concrete steps that are directly applicable in your lab.

Smart cold storage for a more sustainable lab

In the laboratory, reuse begins with reliable and efficient storage. A well-chosen and correctly used -80°C freezer ensures that valuable samples remain usable for longer and prevents unnecessary repetition of analyses. During this step of the X-pedition, you will learn at Elscolab how energy-efficient ULT freezers contribute to lower energy demand and a longer equipment lifespan.

Extending the life cycle of scientific equipment

Reusing laboratory equipment and furniture is a powerful way to reduce environmental impact. At the LabMakelaar stand, you will discover how extending the lifecycle of scientific equipment contributes to sustainable goals without compromising on quality or performance.

The future of decontamination: powerful and green

Can a sterile environment go hand in hand with a lower environmental impact? At LED Techno, we think so. Devea's technology plays a central role in this. With just 7,4% hydrogen peroxide, complete elimination of microorganisms is achieved, while the impact on equipment and the environment remains limited. After the process, only water and oxygen remain. No harmful residues. No toxic fumes. Just a controlled process that does what it is supposed to do.

The X-peditions are available to follow every day of the exhibition week. Multiple workshops on sustainability are organized throughout the week that tie in with the X-pedition. Check it out. program and register now for a visit to the fair and participation in the X-pedition, and pick up your gift afterwards.
