The Biology Department goes green: zero waste and responsible activities - CANDLE 2023

Faced with the massive use of single-use plastics and packaging linked to the purchase of commercial consumables, and a production of waste linked to all its activities, the Department of Biology and its 4 research units aim to create a more sustainable system of research production, with a significant reduction in their environmental footprint. Through the implementation of a policy of waste reduction, reuse of durable materials and recycling, the Department aims to establish "green" laboratories in collaboration with researchers united around a common goal and with trained students, future players in this transition.

Project leaders: Alison Forrester (URBC) and Frédéric Silvestre (Biology)
