Maillard Lab and sustainability
The Maillard Lab is committed to making research more sustainable by incorporating environmentally responsible practices into our everyday laboratory work. We are proud to be the first research lab at the Blizard Institute to achieve Gold LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework) accreditation, recognising our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of scientific research.
As part of our sustainability efforts, we have introduced soft plastic recycling in the lab, providing a simple way to reduce the amount of laboratory waste sent to general waste. This is something other labs can adopt too! Watch the video on the right to see how.
We also recycle used tissue culture flasks, giving laboratory plastics a second life wherever possible. If you are keen to see how we did this, have a watch!
