Lab Award recipients

Lab Awards recipients demonstrated compliance with a wide range of sustainable lab practices including efficient use of fume cupboards, management of chemicals and samples, and reducing waste, water and energy consumption.

I would like to give a huge well done to all the teams for their achievements during this year’s Lab Awards. I have really enjoyed seeing each team progress, and have been so impressed by the levels of enthusiasm, commitment and creativity shown by everyone involved.

Keep up the great work!
