Building more sustainable lab practices
 

Have you ever wondered how much electricity is needed to do your research?

​

Have you ever wondered how many tons of CO2 you consume every year to travel the world to present our work?

​

Have you ever wondered how much power is needed to keep your old data on a server?

​

Have you ever wondered how many tons of plastics comes out of the lab every year?

​

We, as scientists are very supportive of climate warming alerts and unsustainable economy. What do we implement in our labs to fight wastes?

​

Our group tries to actively engage in a worldwide effort to rationalize our alb practices to make them greener. Thinking about how you perform you experiments and their environmental impact proves a poerful tool to optimize your research... surprisingly.

Here are a few references, websites and initiatives we participated to:

- Seven steps to make travel to scientific conferences more sustainable, Nature

- The Matcha Initiative, B2B list of green suppliers.
