🔴 With 5.5 million tonnes of plastic waste produced by biomedical and agricultural labs every year, it is no wonder that scientific research poses such a large burden on plastic pollution. It’s not just the production of all this plastic waste that’s the issue however, with its current energy intensive methods of autoclaving and incineration generating a large number of toxins that are damaging the ozone layer.
🟢 We at LabCycle propose our proven circular economy solution to counter the current damaging and wasteful research culture:
Our recycling process is 14x less energy intensive, but also releases 10x less CO2 than conventional lab disposal techniques.
