\nEPA\u2019s Recommendations of Specifications, Standards, and Ecolabels help federal purchasers identify and procure environmentally preferable products and services. Federal purchasers are directed in\u00a0Executive Order 14057<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Catalyzing American Clean Energy Industries and Jobs through Federal Sustainability,\u00a0the\u00a0Federal Sustainability Plan<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0subpart 23.1 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation<\/a>\u00a0to procure products and services meeting the Recommendations to meet net-zero emissions and other procurement goals. Alignment with federal sustainability goals demonstrates that My Green Lab Certification and the ACT Ecolabel Program\u00a0meet the highest international standards<\/strong>, driving meaningful progress toward reducing the environmental impact of scientific research.<\/p>\n

\u201cEPA\u2019s recommendation is a powerful validation of our work at My Green Lab,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0said James Connelly, CEO of My Green Lab. \u201cThis distinction affirms the integrity of our programs and their critical role in reducing the environmental impact of laboratories and laboratory products.\u00a0With EPA\u2019s support, we are one step closer to making green labs the global standard.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Driving Global Momentum of Green Labs<\/span><\/h3>\n

This independent review by one of the world\u2019s most recognized environmental authorities affirms that both My Green Lab\u2019s standard development process and criteria adhere to best practices for environmental certifications.<\/p>\n

My Green Lab Certification<\/strong>\u00a0is considered the gold standard\u00a0for laboratory sustainability best practices around the world.\u00a0Supported by third-party verification from\u00a0Impact Laboratories<\/a>, My Green Lab Certification has engaged\u00a03,450 labs<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a050 countries<\/strong>\u00a0reaching over\u00a041,000 scientists.\u00a0<\/strong>\u200b<\/p>\n

The\u00a0ACT Ecolabel<\/strong>\u00a0provides transparent, third-party verified data about the environmental impact of laboratory products. By offering clear information on product sustainability, the ACT Ecolabel empowers procurement teams and scientists to make informed, sustainable choices. The ACT Ecolabel database includes\u00a03,400 labels<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a040 manufacturers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This recommendation from EPA not only reinforces the value of our programs but also reflects the growing global momentum toward sustainable practices in scientific research. As the demand for environmental best practices in laboratories continues to rise, My Green Lab is committed to driving sustainability worldwide.<\/p>\n\n <\/sc-rich-text>\n <\/sc-container>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n
