EcoLabware: Assessing the carbon footprint of single-use plastic ware versus reusable glassware
Abstract
EcoLabWare calculator aims at comparing the carbon footprint and the water scarcity footprint (method AWARE) of reusable and single-use labware items, either pipettes, tubes or conical flasks (Erlenmeyer). The analysis concerns the labware item itself, but not its use. For single-use labware items, this includes manufacturing, sterilization (optional), decontamination (optional), transport and end-of-life. For reusable glassware, this includes manufacturing, decontamination (optional), soaking, manual wash (optional), machine wash, sterilization (optional), transport and end-of-life.
