About My Green

Lab Scientific laboratories drive research and development for industries around the world, and they represent an enormous, untapped potential for sustainability. They discard over 12 billion pounds of plastic annually, and they consume 5-10 times more energy and water than office spaces. Worldwide, laboratories comprise an industry that is 3 times the size of the building products space and just over half the size of the automotive industry.

My Green Lab is a highly entrepreneurial, disciplined start-up organization that delivers industry leading improvements in the environmental impact of laboratories by building a culture of sustainability through science, directly engaging scientists and the teams of people who support them. Our members and supporters range from small laboratories to some of the science community’s largest corporations and academic institutions. We develop standards, oversee their implementation, and inspire the many behavioral changes that are needed throughout the scientific community. In addition to motivating behavioral change in and around the lab through easily and rapidly implementable tools with clear measurement and verification, we are also leading data-driven research into environmental health impacts and resource consumption.

Since our founding in 2013, MGL has become one of the most influential organizations in the laboratory sustainability space.

In 2024, My Green Lab launched Impact Laboratories (impactlaboratories.com) to provide independent verification services for My Green Lab Certification while providing marketing and business development support for the ACT Environmental Impact Factor Label and issuing certificates for the MGL Accredited Professional (AP) Program.
