For laboratories, sustainability progress is no longer just about good intentions. It is about measurable action. The My Green Lab Certification program’s Impact Estimator tool helps labs translate everyday operational changes into clear environmental and financial outcomes, from avoided energy, water, and waste to greenhouse gas reductions and cost savings. In a sector where there is so much opportunity for immediate improvement, this tool gives teams the data to understand their impact, communicate progress, and make a major difference quickly.
Read the full article on our blog to learn more about how the Impact Estimator is helping labs turn sustainability efforts into measurable results.
At the Metabolomics Society conference, My Green Lab CEO James Connelly joined David Oliva with Concentrating on Chromatography for a conversation on how laboratory sustainability is evolving into a business imperative. From improving efficiency and reducing costs to the growing role of suppliers, customers, and emerging technologies, the discussion highlights how the industry can work together to drive meaningful impact.
My Green Labs's 2026 Global Summit, Meeting the Moment, will take place on September 29-30.
Join sustainability leaders, scientists, green lab professionals, and industry changemakers from around the world for two days of inspiration, practical insights, and collaborative action.
2026 Global Summit call for speakers
We’re now accepting speaker proposals for Meeting the Moment, My Green Lab's virtual summit event this September. This is your opportunity to help shape the conversation, highlight real progress in sustainable science, and inspire laboratories around the world to raise the bar.

Agilent Technologies continues to grow their ACT Ecolabel-certified portfolio with the 1260 Infinity III LC System, 1260 Infinity III Prime LC System, 1290 Infinity III LC System, Pro iQ and Pro iQ Plus Mass Detectors.
Sartorius has expanded their ACT Ecolabel-certified portfolio of pipette tip products, including Optifit Tips, Safetyspace® Filter Tips, and the newly launched Light Pack, the Responsible Tip Box.
The My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel is the world’s premier ecolabel for laboratory products. It provides clear, third-party verified sustainability data on a product’s environmental impact across key factors like manufacturing, energy use, water consumption, packaging, and more.

A recent analysis fromUppsala Universityfound that tubes represented a significant source of plastic waste in the lab, with more than 48,000 kg of plastic generated across tube categories including microtubes, centrifuge tubes, cuvettes, and tubes with various closure mechanisms. Here are a few ways labs can reduce the environmental impact of tubes without compromising research quality: ✔ Select smaller volume tubes to match the volume requirements of the experiment ✔ Reuse tubes in non-sterile or low-risk workflows where appropriate ✔ Choose lower impact materials such as bioplastic tubes where available ✔ Shift to lighter weight tubes Small purchasing and workflow decisions can add up to meaningful reductions in laboratory waste and resource consumption. Learn more about reducing single-use plastics inour recent article here.
