Together We Can Transform An Industry
The ACT label program was created ‘by scientists, for scientists’ to better understand the impact of the products we're purchasing. Whether you're concerned about packaging waste, the impact of manufacturing, or more efficient equipment, the ACT label is designed to provide you with the data you need to make informed choices.
ACT can be used to compare products within a product category before purchasing something new, or to evaluate the impact of a product you currently use, by assessing the scores given to each category. Additional information about the product is located just below the label, including how best to dispose of it and its packaging.
If you can't find a label in our database, ask for it! Be an ACTivist - tell your sales rep or procurement department it's time to act. Let's work together to encourage transparency around the environmental impact of the products we use every day in our research.

Testimonials
"We are constantly trying to advance sustainability within our laboratories. However, before the ACT programme, it was difficult to tell if one product truly had a lower environmental impact than another. With ACT we can leverage our purchasing power to reduce our impact and transform the supply chain of our products."
~Dr. Una FitzGerald, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, University of Galway
