In response to sustainability concerns, key players in the laboratory glassware and plasticware market are creating plant-based lab consumables to reduce the environmental impact of traditional plastic products. These sustainable consumables are biodegradable, reduce carbon footprints, and support regulatory compliance, while also offering cost savings. For instance, Green Elephant Biotech, based in Germany, introduced the Green Elephant 96-Well Plate in February 2024. Made from polylactic acid (PLA) sourced from corn starch, this plant-based alternative offers the same quality and safety as traditional plastic plates but reduces carbon emissions by 50% over its lifecycle.
