The life science industry generates over 5.5 billion tonnes of plastic waste every year, with a huge reliance on single-use plastics. It’s clear that reducing this volume will have a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions. Another challenge is the lack of measurement tools to fully understand current impact and forecast the future impact of sustainability efforts. Traditional metrics for often fall short in capturing the full extent of a laboratory's environmental footprint.  

In this episode, we’re joined by Katie Marrs, Chief Commercial Officer at Grenova, and Caitlin Harclerode, Sr. Director of Marketing. Grenova has developed transformative technology that reduces laboratory carbon emissions and plastic waste by enabling researchers to wash and reuse plastic consumables. 

Grenova has partnered with Rho Impact to develop an impact calculator to quantify the impact their solutions can make for their customer. We’re joined by Rho’s Founder and Chief Advisory Officer, Noah Miller. Rho Impact aims to quantify the impact of new climate technologies, products and investments to support better decision-making on the path to net zero.
