Reduce Your Lab's Footprint—Without Compromising Your Science
Less plastic, lower energy consumption, and fewer reagent waste in your research. We help you save time, money, and resources through sustainable practices. As former scientists, we provide tested, ready-to-use solutions for laboratories. In essence, saving resources by making your workflows and data acquisition more reliable, robust, and efficient.
Great Science Doesn't Need to Cost the Planet
Reducing Plastic Waste
A wet-lab scientist can easily produce up to 200 kg of plastic waste each year. Through protocol optimization, the use of bioplastics, or take-back programs, this impact can be reduced by over 60%!
Energy Consumption
By choosing the right instruments and optimizing their settings you can reduce energy consumption by more than 30%, reagent use by 50%, and processing time by 45%, even in the high-performance segment.
Procurement
Reduce your Scope 3 emissions related to purchasing items, instruments, and services. Most institutions find that this is their biggest impact category. Reduce it by finding the greener product or improve how you work with your suppliers.
Smarter Workflows
Data Quality First
Our tips are rooted in real research environments. Your data quality stays intact – or improves. We never compromise your science for sustainability.
In Sterile Environments
Labs using our approach have reduced plastic waste by up to 65% while maintaining sterile conditions. No expensive alternatives — just measurable impact through smarter protocols.
First-Hand Experience
We have been researchers ourselves. Having worked in labs, we understand the realities and limitations you face. At the same time, we want to share the impressive improvements that others have achieved.
Together With You
When working with us, we tailor solutions to your specific circumstances because we know that most scientific and manufacturing workflows have unique requirements and characteristics.
What You Only Get Here
Unique Perspective
No one else understands sustainability as a means of enhancing scientific workflows. We believe that improving scientific processes naturally leads to a reduced environmental footprint.
Relevant Experience
We worked in laboratories and supported institutes as well as companies around the world. Our goal is to help you implement practical improvements, not leave you overwhelmed by idealistic concepts.
Quick and Reliable
Everybody is busy these days, but we will stick to deadlines. If you need it fast, you can count on us. You need a partner you can trust, not someone who disappears for weeks before replying to an email.
Sustainability That Serves Your Science
- Easy to Understand
- Protects the Science
- Results driven
We started to help institutes, universities and companies believe that sustainability should serve science, not fundamentally change it. Our goal is to save you valuable time while ensuring your research processes are first understood and then optimized. Our approach is results-driven, appreciating both the ecological and economic benefits of a more efficient laboratory. The goal is to allow you to generate more effective data while advancing your career through smarter, more sustainable practices.

How We Drive Change
After you have gained an understanding of our approach through our content and educational resources, we begin the consulting process with an on-site assessment of your research workflows, equipment usage, and waste streams. This enables us to understand your specific circumstances, identify the most effective opportunities for improvement, and develop recommendations tailored to your needs from the very beginning.
Thereafter, we develop tailored optimization strategies based on your laboratory's specific workflows, equipment, and research objectives. These strategies are created in close collaboration with your scientists and staff to ensure that recommendations are practical, leave ongoing processes intact. While your expertise guides the direction, we do the heavy lifting to save you valuable time.
Now it's time to put ideas into action. Together, we implement the agreed changes through hands-on support, training, and clear documentation. Whether you prefer ready-to-use solutions or guidance that your team can implement independently, adapt to what you feel most comfortable with.
Finally, we help you monitor, measure, and communicate your progress. Quantifying the impact of each improvement can provide significant benefits, from meeting reporting requirements to creating compelling case studies and strengthening your brand. We support the internal communication and, if desired, help you share your achievements to external stakeholders, showcasing the work you have done and the impact it has created.

Hi, this is Patrick, the founder of ReAdvance. I am a former neuroimmunologist who turned his passion for sustainable science into a mission. After studying in Germany and Canada, I started optimizing my own protocols, realizing that we don’t need to leave our passion for sustainability at the entrance to the lab. Instead, we can use it as a driver for optimization. Colleagues and friends shared the same vision, so we organized our first online event. It was quite a journey, but we received so much positive feedback that we kept going. People appreciated our perspective. Companies and initiatives supported us because they recognized that we are thorough and genuinely focused on creating meaningful change. Today, we help laboratories worldwide reduce their environmental footprint through smarter workflows. A growing community of more than 2,000 scientists and decision-makers reads our content every week. We want to keep it that way by continuing to provide practical, science-first, and easy-to-understand support.
Frequently Asked Questions
The weekly newsletter is a 5-minute read, and many protocol changes are one-time adjustments. In fact, most researchers end up saving time because their workflows become more efficient.
Never. Every recommendation is validated in real laboratory conditions — including my own. I'm a scientist, so I know that data quality is non-negotiable. Most protocol changes actually improve reproducibility and consistency.
My core expertise is in life sciences, but many of the principles — energy optimization, waste reduction, smarter procurement — apply across disciplines. If you're unsure, book a free call and we'll figure it out together.
