A global focus on sustainability and ethical practice has permeated the science industry, greatly influencing the design and development of new-age laboratories. Here we explore the rise of sustainable lab design, and discover why complementary lab services can further maximise the benefits of laboratories with an eco-friendly focus.
What is sustainable lab design?
Sustainable lab design promotes an ethical and eco-conscious approach to laboratory processes – from greener energy solutions and recycling programmes to water saving systems. As sustainability means different things to different people, the real outcomes expected from sustainable lab developments can be difficult to define and vary greatly. Whether you’re running a scientific lab or research facility, longevity and functionality matters. It naturally follows that labs with an environmental interest should have an ethical focus, since many are striving to discover and develop solutions with wider positive consequences for our planet.
Why does sustainable lab design matter?
Sustainable lab design matters both to the laboratories themselves and to the wider environment. Global appetite for more ethical practice, especially in the pharmaceutical sector, is growing year on year. Therefore a focus on more ‘green’ design and processing will benefit labs both financially and in terms of public opinion. Meanwhile we can all benefit from safer and more sustainable laboratory practice, especially where larger facilities are concerned. Where green energy solutions are implemented, chemical waste is responsibly processed, managed and disposed of there are clear advantages for all.
Complementary lab services
Lab services play an important role in the overall running of a research facility, scientific lab or hospital. As an extension of the organisation, those responsible for delivering laboratory specialist services must be able to reflect your standards and status. At Johnsons this is something we take very seriously. We take time to listen to you and learn more about your focus and pressure points before developing a plan and tailoring our services to suit you. Where sustainability is a focus we offer a range of eco-friendly solutions and fully compliant waste disposal methods.

“We have very positive feedback from the end users regarding all the crews involved in the move. Indeed at a steering group meeting this week one of the senior scientist not only praised the move teams but also requested if the same teams could be used for the move into the CL2 building next year.”
The Pirbright Institute
“The Johnsons team worked well with our own internal project team to make the overall move a success. The main phase went without any significant issues, and this was a testament to the close management and supervision of the Johnsons team at both sites during the 3 days of the move.”
Mark Garrod, Redx Pharma
“We have a good working relationship and specifically use Johnsons as they are competitive, always turn up on time with the correct number of operatives, and their removal team is always courteous which matters especially when patients and our staff are affected.”
David Shepherd, Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust
“Johnsons Laboratory Logistics have been providing relocation services to us for a number of years now. They are competitive, reliable and trustworthy.”
