Lab Supply: Gold Sponsors of The School of Biological Sciences Showcase

Lab Supply: Gold Sponsors of The School of Biological Sciences Showcase


On Friday, 22 November, Lab Supply proudly supported the University of Auckland's School of Biological Sciences Showcase (SBS) as gold sponsors. This annual event is a celebration of innovation and research, bringing together students, academics, and industry professionals to highlight advancements in biological sciences.

Representing Lab Supply at the event was Franz Lim, who not only exhibited at the Showcase but also delivered an insightful 10-minute presentation focusing on sustainability within the scientific industry.

Driving Sustainability in Science

Franz’s presentation explored the challenges and opportunities for making science greener, highlighting the critical role of sustainability in laboratory operations. He showcased initiatives from Lab Supply and our key partner Merck, who are leading the way in promoting eco-friendly practices.

Examples of Merck’s initiatives include:
  • Sustainable Packaging: Elimination of polystyrene from packaging by 2025 and introduction of re-usable, sustainable and effective WOOLPACK packaging.
  • Green Solvents: A less toxic and less hazardous alternative to traditional solvents. These solvents are also bio-based or bio-degradable and just as effective as their regular counterparts.
  • Innovation: Continually innovating and identifying opportunities for greener alternatives with over 3000 green alternatives now available.

A Commitment to Greener Practices

The SBS Showcase was the perfect platform to share Lab Supply's commitment to sustainability and inspire others in the scientific community to adopt greener practices. As a family-owned business dedicated to supporting research and innovation, Lab Supply continues to prioritise environmentally conscious solutions that benefit not just the scientific industry, but the planet as a whole.

We are proud to have been part of this inspiring event and to continue our collaboration with the University of Auckland and other institutions to support the next generation of scientists in their journey toward a sustainable future.
