BIOBITES: A Green Light for Lab Sustainability
About this Event
About the event
This BIOBITES Lunch & Learn session with Andy Evans, Director at Green Light Laboratories Ltd, will explore how independent performance testing can help laboratories make smarter procurement decisions that reduce energy use, lower running costs, and minimise carbon emissions.
Drawing on more than 16 years of experience evaluating laboratory equipment, Andy will share real-world case studies demonstrating how equipment performs in everyday laboratory settings. He will discuss the impact of procurement decisions on energy consumption and sustainability, and provide practical guidance on identifying opportunities to improve efficiency without compromising performance.
Whether you are responsible for purchasing equipment, managing laboratory facilities, or developing sustainability initiatives, this session will provide practical, evidence-based insights to help you build a greener, more efficient laboratory.
