The pharmaceutical and biotech industries carry a significant carbon impact. However, sustainability does not equate to performance loss, as high-quality results can still be achieved with lower environmental impact. This session explores different means of developing a sustainable lab, including the ACT (Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency) label, a vital tool for measuring and improving environmental impact. It discusses the importance of broader corporate adoption to foster confidence in sustainable practices. In addition to ACT, the webinar introduces alternative sustainability pathways, such as My Green Lab initiatives. It highlights the progress made by companies committed to reducing their environmental footprint.
The webinar also focuses on practical changes labs can implement to improve sustainability without compromising quality. This includes transitioning to more eco-friendly HPLC systems and MS systems and potentially switching to SPME. Additionally, the discussion covers under-recognized sustainable practices and the importance of education in these areas. Using gas generators as an alternative to traditional gas cylinders is also explored, highlighting the reduction in carbon emissions and the sustainable benefits without sacrificing quality.
