The Impact: <p>Reduce single use materials and associated waste output</p>
Details
Alongside vials and bungs, other items in the lab have the potential for reuse to avoid large quantities of single use items.
Investigate options to implement a reuse protocol for petri dishes. This can best be facilitated by making the switch to glass petri dishes for the greatest emissions savings. However, certain types of plastic may make the reuse of plastic petri dishes also possible. By ensuring proper cleaning and sterilisation protocols are in place, you could reuse plastic petri dishes for agar plates.
