In the race to innovate, laboratories across the globe have become hubs of incredible scientific progress. But behind the breakthroughs, a quieter issue is growing: lab waste. From single-use plastics to excess reagents and hazardous byproducts, modern molecular biology has an environmental footprint that can’t be ignored. Among the biggest culprits? Traditional methods of DNA […]

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), showering accounts for nearly 17% of residential indoor water use, adding up to almost 40 gallons per day for the average American family. For sustainability-focused homeowners, there’s a better option than letting all that water go down the drain: a “greywater-ready” bathroom designed from the start to capture

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have become a growing environmental concern due to their persistence and widespread use in manufacturing, consumer products, and industrial applications. Often referred to as “forever chemicals,” PFAS do not readily break down. Addressing PFAS effectively requires targeted interventions that eliminate contamination at its source rather than relying solely on downstream

Landfills need to prepare for region-specific PFAS discharge limits by updating their leachate treatment processes and monitoring methods to meet new regulations. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are chemicals found in many waste products, and managing their discharge is important because they can impact water quality and compliance. Simple changes like testing leachate more

Internet gambling sites are usually seen as a source of entertainment, risk and instant virtual interaction. But as server rooms hum in the background and cloud systems process billions of daily transactions, a question commonly goes unanswered: What’s the price on the planet of all that virtual amusement? While the industry has long promoted fairness,

Because the environment is changing, it affects the way we live and the way we think about the future. It should impact our actions and not just our perspective, and those changes should extend to the methods we use to clean our homes. If we understand at least some of the impact that our actions

At a time of growing environmental awareness, sustainable solutions are becoming increasingly important across all industries. One area often overlooked is storage—how we organize, store, and manage our belongings can have a significant environmental impact. Green storage, which involves using eco-friendly materials, responsible manufacturing processes, and sustainable designs, plays a crucial role in reducing carbon
