Abstract
This guidebook aims to improve lab users’ everyday practices to become more sustainable. Specifically, this guidebook provides practical suggestions on how to effectively use lab instruments and resources and on how to acquire data. We provide advice to labs covering disciplines such as biology, chemistry, computational science, engineering, life sciences, materials sciences, medicine, pharmacy, and physics. As every lab is different, it may occur that alternative measures are required, advice may be outdated or not applicable, and sometimes laboratories may not be able to comply with measures of other laboratories.

Title
Green Labs | Faculty of Science and Engineering
Description
"Labs are responsible for about 2% of global plastic waste", shares Thomas Freese, LEAF coordinator at the Faculty of Science and Engineering (University of Groningen).
“Of course, as scientists we are at the forefront of solving the climate crisis and our research can make a big impact. We, as scientists, should lead by example and make our research processes more sustainable.” This is where LEAF comes in. Since LEAF was launched at the Faculty in February 2023, a total of 46 labs were accredited: 29 with a bronze and 17 with a silver award.
