Better cold storage management can unlock hidden capacity, reduce energy use, and improve scientific productivity. Findings from Azenta Life Sciences assessments across more than 100 life science facilities show that many storage challenges stem from management inefficiencies rather than true capacity shortages.
Discover how surgical pathology labs can reduce their environmental footprint without compromising diagnostic accuracy or patient safety. Learn how pathologists Alessandro Gambella and Federica Grillo are applying green pathology principles across the full diagnostic workflow, and how starting with your lab’s own hotspots, rather than a generic checklist, can lead to practical, meaningful change.
Find out how your lab can cut waste with practical strategies, from smarter purchasing and packaging choices to reuse and collaboration. Learn where to start, whether by understanding your lab’s waste streams or by using verified product data to choose lower-waste products, and how small changes can add up to meaningful impact.
A small number of plastic consumables drive most of a lab’s plastic waste, which is good news for anyone looking to cut Scope 3 emissions. Dive into what five years of purchasing data from Uppsala University reveal about where to focus first, and how simple, targeted actions can lead to meaningful results.
Food, nutrition, and sensory science labs have their own sustainability challenges, and this free guide offers a clear roadmap for tackling them. Get practical strategies for cutting energy use and waste, greening procurement, and aligning with ISO standards, plus a ready-to-use checklist from Dr. Paula Conroy.
Labs can differ in emissions by a factor of 5.5, which means better practices are within reach right now. Read this guest post from Arcondis on why healthcare R&D can’t afford to wait, and how simple steps like forming a green team can improve sustainability, safety, and productivity at the same time.

Water doesn’t just vanish down the drain, and labs can use up to five times more of it than a comparable commercial building. Try these 10 practical tips, from retrofitting autoclaves to switching off single-pass cooling, to start saving water in your lab today.
Meet My Green Lab’s nine-member European team, working to help labs navigate a patchwork of EU regulations and ESG expectations. Get a closer look at how My Green Lab Certification and the ACT Ecolabel support climate-neutrality goals, CSRD reporting, and a growing network of green labs across the continent.
Greenwashing is now treated as a serious legal and financial risk, not just a marketing misstep. Learn how recent enforcement cases and stricter global regulations are raising the stakes, and why third-party verification costs far less than the penalties and reputational damage of unsubstantiated claims.
Labs rank second only to data centers in energy use per square foot, but small changes can make a big difference. Get eight practical, proven tips, from closing fume hood sashes to adjusting freezer settings and sharing equipment, that cut energy use without compromising your science.
Every successful lab certification starts with someone willing to lead the way.
