Scientific research depends on some of the most environmentally destructive practices to ensure high-quality science: single-use plastic, thousands of tonnes of packaging, quick delivery of equipment just to name a few. Many would say manufacturers have a responsibility to try and reduce the impact their products have on the environment but questions remain: do these companies actually care about the environment? And what exactly are the multinational companies doing to save our little green rock?

This episode Katie and Kelsey talk to Nermina Cuzovic, Global Sustainability Manager for Greiner Bio One and Executive Assistant to the CEO, to discuss what Greiner Bio One - a big player in the science manufacturing field and our sponsor - is doing to create more sustainable practices in research.
