SustainAbility: Second lives for lab supplies

In laboratories around the world, unused yet valuable reagents, consumables, and instruments are discarded annually. This surplus represents a significant financial loss, unnecessary waste, and a missed opportunity for scientific advancement.

Wasteless Bio offers a solution through a sustainable marketplace that connects institutions with access to surplus products at significantly lower prices. In this way, researchers can achieve savings of over 60%, reduce project costs, and gain access to resources that would otherwise be wasted, while supporting both scientific and environmental sustainability.

Through practical examples, we will educate about the problem and show how reusing surplus laboratory products not only reduces costs and waste but also enables scientists to conduct more research with the same budget, thereby accelerating scientific and sustainable progress.
