The mission behind our nonprofit.
Labs could do more with what they have right now
We’re working towards a world where research labs integrate sustainability into their day to day operations without effort. Where literal life-saving budgets aren’t used needlessly for waste management, or literally burned up with high energy consumption.We’re working towards a research environment that is carbon-neutral, energy-efficient, and pollution-free.
Donate nowOur mission is to remove the barriers to a more sustainable lab.
Laboratories in today’s world have more work than ever before, inventing new medicines, novel diagnostic tools, and discovering new treatments to make our lives better. That’s just their work inside the lab. Lab managers must also hire staff, balance budgets and secure funding. They want to save energy, lower their carbon footprint, and create less waste, but they just don’t know where to start. That’s what LabReNew is all about.
Land Acknowledgement
LabReNew acknowledges that our work in Massachusetts takes place on the traditional lands of the **Massachusett**, **Nipmuc**, and **Wampanoag** peoples. We recognize their ongoing relationship with this land and honor their resilience and care for the environment over generations.As we support labs in reducing their environmental impact, we are learning how sustainability work must also include respect for Indigenous communities and knowledge. This acknowledgement is a small step in a longer journey of learning and accountability.
We help labs save the world, one researcher at a time
Why did Steve start LabReNew?
I started LabReNew while I was working for Eversource, a large electric and gas utility in New England as their point person on life science sustainability. At that time I was really involved with helping my clients lower their energy costs, being smarter and lowering their climate impact. One day, I was watching my grandsons play, and I was just overwhelmed by the idea of what the world would be like when they were adults. It was that moment that I knew I had to do more, and be more for them. For all of our grandkids. That’s the moment that I decided to start a non-profit dedicated to changing how research labs use their energy, their water, and their waste. We help, we guide, we empower, we save the planet with you!
