Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday from us to you! Single-use plastics make up a large proportion of #waste coming from labs.
Check out our Greenlabs wiki for ideas on how to reduce plastic waste in the lab with simple tips and tricks!

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! This week, we want to encourage any of you who help to organise meetings, workshops and conferences to consider offering a virtual option to reduce travel-related emissions ✈️
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday - today, we want to shamelessly promo our new LinkedIn page, which you can find and follow here: www.linkedin.com/company/gree...
This #SustainabilityTipTuesday, we want to share this great read about improving efficiency in the lab to further sustainability efforts! Take a look 👇 febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! Today, we encourage you take action on reducing water use in the lab, with the help of this great resource 👇💧
It's always a good time to think about your chemistry protocols - could you replace harmful chemicals like TFA with something more benign? #SustainabilityTipTuesday
If you're taking some time out of the lab 🏖️, make sure to switch off🔌your computer (+screens!) and any other equipment you won't be using to save energy ⚡💡 #SustainabilityTipTuesday
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! Today, we encourage you to collect and reuse plastic bags that come with consumables, kits and other lab materials. These can have a second life as bin liners, or for storing/shipping materials. #greenlabs
This week's #SustainabilityTipTuesday is all about measuring the impact of your actions - as scientists we are convinced by data, and putting numbers on sustainability improvements can help to keep motivation high! Nice example of this below 👇
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! This week we encourage reflecting on the environmental impact of work that you do, perhaps in the framework of a life cycle analysis - nice example below!
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! Today we want to share this nice overarching graphic about how us scientists can make a difference in sustainability - both inside and outside the lab 🌱
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! Today we remind you that choosing plasticware that fits your experimental needs can help to minimise waste 🗑️
Does your lab have *that one room* where the light is always on, even if nobody is in there? Reminders like these can help to save energy by switching off the light 💡 #SustainabilityTipTuesday #greenlabs
Another #SustainabilityTipTuesday about computation - this time, raising awareness about simulation efficiencies! If you run a lot of simulations, making sure they are efficient can have a big effect on their environmental impact 🖥️🌱 #sustainablelabs #greendisc
For #SustainabilityTipTuesday we want to echo this message about donation and repair, with a shout-out our friends at EquipSent (equipsent.org) who connect labs and enable donation of functional equipment 🤗♻️ #sustainablelabs
For #SustainabilityTipTuesday this week, we encourage you to review your chemical use, keeping in mind principles of #greenchemistry to find more sustainable 'solutions' 😉🧪
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! Today, we encourage you to map out cold storage use in your lab ❄️ This helps keep an overview of empty spaces and unneeded samples, and lets you make the most of your fridges and freezers without wasting space and energy!
For #SustainabilityTipTuesday this week, we second this 🧽 'Single-use' plastics such as Falcon tubes, Eppendorfs, cuvettes, reservoirs, microtiter plates and weighing boats can all be washed and reused in the lab!
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday - this week's tip is about reusing aluminium foil! Try setting up a collection point in the lab for clean foil, which can be reused for autoclaving, wrapping light-sensitive solutions, or anything else you can think of ♻️
For #SustainabilityTipTuesday this week, we remind you that office spaces are part of labs too! Below are some tips to promote sustainability in offices and dry labs 🌱
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! This week, our tip is to celebrate efforts to make lab spaces more sustainable - last Wednesday, we celebrated the #LEAF certification of 22 labs at @ethzurich.bsky.social 🤗🥳
You'd never leave all the lights on at home for the night - and the lab is no different! Memes can be a fun way to remind colleagues to switch off lights and equipment when they're not needed #SustainabilityTipTuesday #ScienceSky
This week's tip for #SustainabilityTipTuesday is to mark your calendars for 29 April 📅 and join this @embl.org *free* *online* symposium all about sustainability in labs! Registration below 👇 #ScienceSky
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday, this week especially to the chemists #chemsky - this article is full of tangible actions to reduce emissions in the lab ⚗️ across purchasing, operations and travel 🥽 #sustainablelabs
It's #SustainabilityTipTuesday and this week, we want to amplify this little tip from @thomasfreese.bsky.social to reduce waste in the lab 🗑️
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! Today we want to highlight an amazing resource from @thomasfreese.bsky.social and colleagues: an all-encompassing guidebook for #sustainablelabs! Check it out here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
Another week, another #SustainabilityTipTuesday! Our tip this week is to make sure energy-intensive equipment is switched off whenever it isn't in use. You wouldn't leave your oven, tumble dryer or iron running all night at home, and lab equipment is no different⚡
Contaminated and non-contaminated waste buckets on a lab bench
Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday to you all! If you generate both contaminated and non-contaminated waste at the bench, consider setting up two trashcans to reduce unnecessary autoclaving! #greenlabs
2025 Freezer Challenge promotional poster
Good morning and happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! Today we encourage you to join the 2025 Freezer Challenge - optimising cold storage use can lead to huge energy savings in the lab ❄️ Details below 👇
