The responsibility of modern analytics
The importance of laboratory analysis today goes far beyond the mere examination of samples. Modern test laboratories such as viridiusLAB see themselves as active partners in environmental protection. Through the targeted use of energy-efficient technologies, resource-saving methods and sustainable laboratory processes, they make a decisive contribution to a more environmentally conscious industry.
The demands on laboratories are increasing: In addition to precision and quality, ecological responsibility and efficiency are becoming increasingly important. Sustainable analytics is therefore not a trend, but a central component of modern science and business ethics.
The responsibility of modern analytics
An environmentally friendly laboratory starts with daily work. viridiusLAB relies on optimized processes that conserve resources, reduce energy consumption and at the same time guarantee the highest measurement quality.
Intelligent sample planning, precise dosing technology and modern devices with low power consumption can save considerable amounts of energy and chemicals. The use of reusable systems, recycled materials and digitalized processes also helps to avoid waste and minimize environmental impact.
The focus is on a balance between scientific excellence and ecological efficiency – a principle that is reflected in all viridiusLAB laboratory locations.
ISO 17025 - Quality with responsibility
The DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 is regarded as the international standard for quality and competence in testing laboratories. However, it not only stands for precise results, but also for responsibility and sustainability.
The standard obliges laboratories to use resources efficiently, assess environmental risks and continuously improve processes. viridiusLAB actively integrates these requirements into its quality management system – and goes above and beyond: every analysis is designed to minimize energy consumption, material consumption and transport costs.
This creates a cycle of quality, trust and responsibilitythat has an impact far beyond the boundaries of the laboratory.
Environmental analysis as a contribution to the circular economy
viridiusLAB sees sustainable analysis not only as an internal obligation, but also as a contribution to the entire value chain. Through precise environmental analyses in the areas of water, soil, air and materials, the laboratory supports companies and public institutions in reducing emissions, avoiding waste and optimizing recycling processes.
The data obtained flows directly into sustainable decisions – from the selection of environmentally friendly materials to the improvement of industrial processes. In this way, viridiusLAB actively contributes to the circular economy and the protection of natural resources.
Conclusion
Sustainability in the laboratory means taking responsibility – for the environment, for society and for future generations.
viridiusLAB shows that scientific precision and ecological awareness can go hand in hand. Through sustainable laboratory practices, ISO-compliant quality management and the targeted use of environmental analysis, the company is shaping a future in which research and sustainability are inextricably linked.
FAQ - Sustainable laboratory analysis at viridiusLAB
What is sustainable laboratory analysis?
Sustainable laboratory analysis describes scientific procedures that combine ecological responsibility with technical precision.
This includes resource-saving methods, energy-efficient equipment, digital processes and the conscious handling of chemicals and waste.
How can laboratories reduce their energy consumption?
Modern laboratories rely on energy-saving analysis devices, optimized cooling and ventilation systems and intelligent control systems.
Digitalization – for example through paperless documentation and automated data evaluation – also contributes to energy savings.
What role does waste management play in sustainable laboratories?
A key aspect is the reduction of disposable materials and the safe disposal of chemicals.
Many laboratories use recycling processes or more environmentally friendly alternatives to minimize their ecological footprint.
Why is ISO 17025 relevant for sustainability?
The international standard ISO/IEC 17025 defines quality and competence standards for testing laboratories.
It requires efficient processes, traceability and continuous improvement – principles that are closely linked to sustainability.
How do laboratory analyses contribute to environmental protection?
Through precise environmental analyses – of water, soil, air or waste, for example – laboratories provide data that helps companies and authorities to reduce emissions, control pollutants and implement sustainable measures.
