We’re looking for Ph.D. students, postdocs, technicians, and senior researchers who want to make a change. If you care for the future of the environment and of science, have ideas, or a “green project” you’d like to implement: we’re looking for you!
Radboudumc Freezer Challenge was nominated for an award 🥳
The prize is 10.000 euro and it will be spent on further evidence on sample integrity at -70C.
You can vote for Radboudumc in Categorie Duurzaamheid.
-70C is the new -80C🌿🌎

Sentiments felt by many in the lab it seems.
Starting a Green lab committee @ your institute is a great way to connect with sustainable like minded colleagues and work on solutions together!

Labs produce massive amounts of plastic waste -- and recycling isn’t going to fix it.
Tune into this episode of our podcast to learn what you can do about it and why sorting plastic waste simply isn't enough! 🌍👩🏽🔬

Fume hoods can consume as much energy as 3.5 households. Remember to shut the sash and turn it off when not in use. Put a reminder sticker
Understand the safety of your experiments and check to see if the air change rate can be lowered

Vaccines, medicines, tissues, cells & other precious materials are stored in ULT freezers @ temperatures of <-70C. BUT what’s the difference between these models regarding energy, performance & sustainability? We’ve been testing the marketplace...#vaccines #sustainablecoldstorage
13 research groups of the @radboudumc, 1280 boxes discarded, 26% less energy consumption, and two winners. Check out the results of our #freezerchallenge below!

Is it possible to #recycle single-use #plastic from the lab?
We think so!
Here we provide a pipeline for implementing plastic recycling, FAQs, and informational stickers to help you get started.

A few months ago we organized Radboudumc Freezer Challenge. Here's why, how much energy we saved, and of course... the winners!

Optimising your ULT freezer use is safe, and it will also reduce costs! If questions, just ask ;)
What can you and your department do to reduce the environmental impact of research-related IT?
Read some tips, and why it is important, in this month’s Green Thoughts blog by @Estel_Co_Ca

Research labs consume x10 more energy and x4 more water than offices and produce 5.5 tons of plastic waste annually. Join this panel discussion to hear from TCD scientists and what they do to fight the climate catastrophe. #TCDGreenWeek @TCDgreenlabs

A great "tip" for sustainable science! 😉 #reuse #Sustainability
Supply of pipette filter tips is currently limited due to the #pandemic so why not reuse!♻️ Rather than discarding your tips, decontaminate with distel or virkon, wash them and dry before sterilising. Let us know if you'd like to know more👩🔬 #lab #sustainability #circulareconomy
In less than a decade, @radboudumc aims at being energy neutral. We wanted to know whether we're on track for 2030. Read our new blog by @Estel_Co_Ca, @curiousfroggy and @i_kessels !

This very thorough study presents us with concrete alternatives to reduce plastic waste in the lab! Very useful tips, with side-by-side comparisons, well worth looking into! #greenlab #sustainablescience #plasticpollution
The data-driven and holistic approach to identifying opportunities to reduce waste in the lab in this recent case report from @MicrobioSoc is inspiring. We hope you find it helpful as you think about ways to eliminate waste in the lab: microbiologyresearch.org/con…
