How to Extend the Life Cycle of Your Used Lab Equipment

by REUZEit Team | Jun 24, 2021 | Buying Used Lab Equipment, Educational Organizations, Lab Equipment, Landfill Last

We are dedicated to educating ourselves, our customers, and the community about the social and environmental impacts of establishing a REUZE economy. By reusing lab supplies we can extend the life of all laboratory equipment while saving e-waste from ending up in landfills across the globe. There are many ways that you can contribute to a circular economy by extending the life cycle of your used lab equipment.

 

Sell Used Lab Equipment

Selling used lab equipment is a great way to get money back from your investments once the equipment no longer plays a role in your research. There are many websites that help you sell various items online, but it’s probably best to stick to using websites that are geared toward the scientific community, like gentechscientific.com  or biosurplus.com. These used lab equipment websites are not only trustworthy, but they will allow more qualified buyers to see the products that you’re trying to sell. 

 

Repair It

When used lab equipment breaks down it’s easy to consider selling it or tossing it out, but repairing it may give you a greater return on your investment. It’s important to research exactly what is needed to repair the item and how much money it will take to fix it. Weigh this against the cost of replacing your laboratory equipment and determine if a repair is the best use of your money. 

 

Donate to a School or Reseller

If selling or repairing your equipment is too much of a hassle, then donating used lab equipment can be a simple solution. Educational organizations are one of the best options for donating your used lab equipment. If schools have no use for your pre-owned laboratory equipment, then donating to a reseller like REUZit works just as well. You can even coordinate with us to get your chemistry, pharmaceutical, or biotech equipment packed and shipped.
