Helping small labs build pathways to sustainability.

About us.

The Lab Project (TLP) is a non-profit
organization with a mission to make laboratory
sustainability more accessible. Founded to
provide pro bono consulting services to small,
growing laboratories in the life sciences,
biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries,
we faciliate access to financial and advising
resources that are specifically dedicated to
achieving sustainable research operations.

Our team.

Our small but mighty team has led the
development of laboratory efficiency
programs in the utility industry, and is a part of
local and national organizations dedicated to
green laboratory practices. We leverage our
expertise, trusted partnerships, and long-held
professional relationships to realize a
sustainability plan that empowers your lab.

Let’s
collaborate.

We’ll support you through processes of chemical
inventory, substitution, and reducing chemical waste.

Recycling and waste reduction

We’ll find disposal strategies that fit your lab’s workflow.

Green behavior

Whether it’s switches in small daily behaviors or
