April 2023

The facts
Average laboratories consume significantly more water than average office spaces. This is partly due to necessary autoclaving and the use of purified water. While newer models of autoclaving devices and water purification systems minimize waste of water, older models may still function less efficiently.

What we can do

• Autoclave only if necessary!
• Use the appropriate water purity!
• Report any water leakage!
