Research Recycling

Plastic is the gold standard material for lab products. It is inexpensive, durable, versatile, and readily available. Every day, one scientist produces 8 pounds of plastic waste and together, they produce 12 billion pounds per year. Over 60% of lab plastic waste is disposed of in landfills or by incineration, rendering it useless. Despite its highly regulated nature, innovation in lab plastic waste management has been slow. There is a gap in communication between manufacturers, research institutions, and waste management companies. Research Recycling is an organization dedicated to engaging in dialogue and fostering collaboration amongst industry leaders to identify barriers, best practices, and opportunities to reduce lab plastic emissions.
