Green Labs Marketplace

How much does your lab spend annually on supplies?

We assume a substantial amount!

As such, we are hoping use the Green Labs Marketplace to allow labs to exchange equipment, chemicals, labware, and more to reduce lab spending!

You can use this Form to submit your submissions. Purchasing supplies? First, check out what is already available on our website! If you find something your lab can use, reach out to the lab and arrange to swap the items.

Yes, it's that easy!

The problem: Labs purchase surplus or unused supplies which sit in lab spaces and waste space. Sharing resources reduces the need for purchasing new supplies, and labs that have a surplus or unused supply can divest those supplies and make space in their stockrooms! Furthermore, sharing resources minimizes waste by diverting usable materials from

As such, Green Labs aims to tackle this issue by developing a Green Labs Marketplace to exchange unnecessary lab supplies with labs that may need of those items.

Our plan: We have developed an online resource where labs can "shop" for supplies that other labs have posted, and have created an easy interface for labs to upload their unneeded supplies!
