Driving sustainable science by aligning temperature control with Green Chemistry principles

Tuesday, April 21 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT

Advancing sustainability in laboratory environments requires more than replacing consumables or improving waste management, it demands a fundamental re-evaluation of how equipment is designed, controlled and supported throughout its lifecycle.

This shift is especially important for temperature control systems, where engineering decisions directly influence environmental impact and long‑term compliance with global sustainability standards. This is increasingly shaped by natural refrigerant mandates, calling for environmentally responsible materials, and manufacturing practices that minimize environmental impact.

In this SelectScience^® webinar, we examine how researchers from the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence at the University of York, a global leader in green and sustainable chemistry, integrate more environmentally responsible equipment into their scientific processes. The session will explore York’s strategic commitment to sustainability, how laboratory infrastructure influences environmental impact, and how thoughtful equipment selection supports cleaner and more responsible research practices.

Alongside this perspective, PolyScience will outline how sustainable manufacturing and engineering principles inform modern temperature control design, including the shift toward natural refrigerants, reduced waste and environmental impact, and the role of established ISO certifications in guiding responsible manufacturing practices.

Together, this discussion connects scientific objectives with practical considerations, offering researchers evidence‑based context for how to align laboratory operations with both Green Chemistry principles, global sustainability standards, and institutional sustainability goals.
