LEAF requires optimising the sharing and rehoming of resources. Earlier this year the FBMH Technical Operations team officially launched the Faculty’s LabGoods4Reuse (LG4R) scheme. 

This initiative was developed to improve sustainability within FBMH laboratories by rehoming laboratory equipment & consumables. 

Our aims are to reuse resources, reduce the amount of waste produced by FBMH labs, help new academics/groups setup their lab with essential equipment and free up valuable space in laboratory areas through rehoming items and avoiding long term storage.

The uptake by researchers across FBMH has been fantastic and we have already saved over £200,000 by rehoming lab equipment and consumables. 

LG4R is open to all FBMH researchers and you can access the catalogue on our Lab Goods 4 Reuse sharepoint site. 

For information on how to donate or request items from our catalogue, please visit our website: Lab Goods for Reuse.

If you would like to view what is available in person please email to arrange an appointment, LabGoods4Reuse@manchester.ac.uk.

We look forward to seeing you soon, 

LG4R team
