What impact do tariffs have on lab supplies procurement?

Have your lab supplies or equipment been affected by tariffs either recently or in the past? Did you change your operations or supplies because of tariffs?

A few companies have sent emails explaining the increase in cost. Nothing could cost more than it did during the pandemic and no one bothered to apologize then; if we got through that then we will make it through this, no problem. Some companies never brought their pricing back down even after the pandemic so I'm guessing they have some room to absorb the tariffs- imo. During the pandemic we learned to conserve and reuse as much as possible so it was a great lesson on how sustainable we could actually be! It's just a new challenge a great way to test our resilience 🙃...challenge accepted!

Request for Stats on Animal Bedding/Waste

I am working with my local industrial compost co-op and hauler to create an infographic to present to my local academic institutions with animal facilities. Does anyone have some stats to share about the proportion of waste in the context of total facility waste - or percentage of CO2eq of total research operations? Or any other stat that would be useful in conveying the impact a compost program might have? 🔥🌱 So far, I some stats from UAB and NIH: - Animal Bedding makes up 8-14% of solid waste (not enough references to be confident), - UAB generates at least 7 tons a week - Makes up12% of NIH’s solid waste stream Anything you can share would be so appreciated! I will share the infographic once it's finished. :)

How do you weigh a master's degree?

If hiring for a leadership position in sustainability, which degree would be most likely make you consider the applicant?


MBA with an undergrad in biology and work experience in sustainable initiatives, or M Sc in sustainability with the same background?


Do you think this would be evaluated the same way in the private sector?

Pipette tip box recycling via houlers

Hi all, I know that some of you send the pipette tip boxes (plastic #5) to your regular recycling hauler. Could you share with me the hauler's name or the buyer of PP? I am in New York City and all haulers I talk with say that it's impossible to find a buyer for PP. Only our municipal MRF takes PP, but they only accept municipal recycling and not commercial. I would like to go back to these haulers and let them know that somewhere, buyers for PP actually exist. Thanks.
