Reduce Your Lab's Footprint— Without Compromising Your Science

I help institutions, universities, and companies make their laboratories more sustainable. As a former scientist myself, I understand how to streamline your workflows so you can save time, reduce waste, and make equipment acquisition more reliable.

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.

Protocol optimization

We help optimizing protocols –from pipetting strategies to HPLC settings. No generic green tips. Just smarter workflows that cut waste where it matters most.

Validated research

Every recommendation is validated in real research environments. Your data quality stays intact — or improves. We never compromise your science for sustainability.

Measurable impact

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 (saves you time given the work with an experienced consultant)
  • Respectful of science (processes are first understood, then strategies for optimizing developed and discussed with those conducting them).
  • Results driven (appreciating both, quantifiable savings and intangible cultural changes)

I started ReAdvance because I saw the same problem in every lab I worked in: tons of plastic waste, equipment running 24/7, and no one with the time or tools to change it. So I built exactly what I wished I had — a system of practical, validated protocols that reduce your lab's footprint without touching your data quality.

Every recommendation I give has it's roots in real research environments.

From Assessment to Impact — in Four Steps

Laboratory Assessment
01

Analyze

Laboratory Assessment — we evaluate your current research processes, equipment usage, and waste streams on-site — so we know exactly where to start.

Strategy Development
02

Strategize

We develop tailored optimization strategies based on your lab's specific workflows, equipment, and research goals.

Implementation
03

Implement

Together we put the changes into practice — with hands-on support, training, and clear documentation.

Measuring Impact
04

Measure

We track and quantify the impact of every change — less waste, lower costs, and better efficiency without compromising data quality.

  • 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

Most of our recommendations can be implemented in minutes. We design our strategies around busy lab schedules and focus on quick wins first.

Never. Every recommendation we make is validated in real research environments. Data quality and scientific integrity always come first.

We provide data-backed impact reports and cost-saving analyses that make a compelling case. Many of our strategies actually save time and money.

No. While our roots are in life sciences, the principles of sustainable lab work apply across chemistry, physics, engineering, and more.
