Improving Sustainability in Research Laboratories - eBook
Authors: Wiley | Last updated: June 2024
Overview
Scientific research addresses many pressing challenges in society. However, scientific research also consumes many resources and energy. Governments and organizations are urging actions towards sustainability to diminish the frequency of extreme weather events, lower transmission of infectious diseases, and maintain water security. In comparison to the same-sized office space, research laboratories have a large environmental footprint, consuming 5- to 100-fold greater amounts of energy.
This eBook provides actionable strategies to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and save energy, ultimately cutting costs and boosting productivity. By implementing these insights, you can significantly lower your environmental footprint while maintaining high research standards.
