LabCycle company profile

LabCycle is the world's first company to recycle hazardous plastic waste from laboratories (service) as well as the first to create 100% recycled laboratory consumables (product). Working with public and private labs, we are driving the circular economy of lab plastics to reduce the 5.5m tonnes of lab waste annually. A few highlights of our progress to date: • Proven impact - saving 90% of CO2 emissions & 93% energy compared to current alternatives: incineration and autoclave (LCA available upon request). • Technological validation creating the world's first 100% circular lab consumables including petri dishes, test tubes and more. • Secured commercial contracts with the NHS, several private companies and also universities. We are raising £1.5m to scale our patent pending technology to serve our growing demand after over 150+ organic expressions of interests following our feature in BBC news. The funding will establish the first automated decontamination system of our network, recycling over 350 tonnes annually, saving over 1000+ tonnes of carbon.
