Labs in the centre are working towards achieving the Sustainability Award which has already been awarded to JP Arulanandam and Julie Wellburn’s labs. These awards, run by the University of Edinburgh, provide a framework for improving sustainability and good practice in the lab and provides guidance for general lab arrangements to reduce energy waste.
