Starlab's sixth annual Sustainability Weeks saw over 100 laboratories across Europe participate, up from 85 in 2023, attracting around 3000 participants in total.
The 7th Starlab Sustainability Weeks focused entirely on the circular economy in laboratories, with events spanning Europe from clean-ups to LEGO recycling demos.
