It’s a shame to discard unneeded research materials - but that’s frequently a reality. Cheers to guest blog author Matej Metkovic, CEO and Founder of Wasteless Bio, for sharing their mission, which includes open, compliant exchange of surplus plastic lab consumables and reagents! (Unique? Rare?! Definitely needed!)
