My Green Lab Program

My Green Lab is a nonprofit organization that specializes in helping companies develop sustainability programs that target reduction in energy, waste, and water. The My Green Lab program focuses on continuous improvement to reduce the environmental impact of laboratories by integrating key sustainability topics through day-to-day operations.
