Sustainable innovation in the lab: cleaning pipette tips’

Workshop Sustainable innovation in the lab: cleaning pipette tips

Large numbers of pipette tips are used daily in labs—resulting in a significant waste and cost impact. During this workshop, Circolab will take you through the pilot project regarding the cleaning and reuse of pipette tips: what has been tested, what insights have already been gained, and what steps are needed to move from pilot to practice. The goal is to enable laboratories to operate circularly without compromising the quality of analyses or the safety of laboratory personnel.

What are we going to do?

• Presentation of the results to date: approach, collaboration, and direction for a solution.
• Working interactively in small groups on practical issues and preconditions
• Plenary feedback and joint prioritization: what is needed to take the next step?
• Concrete next steps and opportunities to get involved

Why be there?

• Discover how your organization can handle plastic smartly and contribute to concrete solutions for a more sustainable lab.
• Think along about ways to reduce waste and make the lab a little greener together.

Practical
This workshop is intended for analysts, lab managers, researchers, QA/QC specialists, and sustainability officers from laboratories.
