Analyze
Laboratory Assessment — we evaluate your current research processes, equipment usage, and waste streams on-site — so we know exactly where to start.
Reduce Your Lab's Footprint—Without Compromising Your Science
The environmental impact of research is real. Practical solutions have been missing — until now.
Great Science Doesn't Need to Cost the Planet
Reducing Plastic Waste
We generate up to 200 kg of plastic waste per scientist each year. Through protocol optimization, the use of bioplastics, or take-back programs, this impact can be reduced by over 80%!
Energy Consumption
A single institute can consume as much energy as a small village. With targeted energy plans and optimized instrument settings, overall consumption can often be reduced by more than one third.
Chemicals & Reagents
Reagents used in experiments have an enormous environmental impact. However, alternatives, optimized protocols, and more efficient instruments can significantly reduce their use and overall footprint.
Procurement
Reduce your Scope 3 emissions related to purchasing items, instruments, and services. Most institutions find that this is their biggest impact category. We help you reduce it by finding the greener product or work with your suppliers.
Every recommendation is validated in real research environments. Your data quality stays intact — or improves. We never compromise your science for sustainability.
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.

Sustainability That Serves Your Science
- Time-saving
- Respectful of science
- Results driven
I started ReAdvance because I believe that sustainability should serve science, not hinder it. By working with an experienced consultant, you save valuable time while ensuring your research processes are first understood and respected. My approach is results-driven, appreciating both the ecological and economic benefits of a more efficient laboratory. The goal is to generate more data and advance your career through smarter, more sustainable practices.

About
Built by Scientists. Driven by Impact.
- Former neuroimmunology researcher with hands-on lab experience
- Helping institutes, companies & universities go greener since day one
- Founder of the GreenLaboratoryWork Summit & The Sustainability Snack
I’m Patrick — a former neuroimmunologist who turned his passion for sustainable science into a mission. I studied in Germany and Canada and spent years conducting research at the bench. Early in my career, I started optimizing my own protocols for sustainability — and I never stopped. Today, I help laboratories worldwide reduce their environmental footprint through smarter workflows, free resources, and a growing community of 1,400+ researchers. Whether through our annual summit, workshops, or hands-on advisory — my approach is always the same: practical, science-first, and built for real lab conditions.

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.
