UniGreenScheme: purchasing, collection and resale of surplus laboratory equipment

UniGreenScheme is a UK company that has been operating since 2015 in the field of the circular economy applied to scientific equipment. Its activity consists of purchasing, collecting and reselling laboratory equipment that universities, research institutes, laboratories, healthcare organisations and companies consider surplus. This allows its clients to free up space in their facilities, obtain income for material they no longer use and reduce disposal costs, as well as extend the useful life of the equipment.

Services for scientific and healthcare institutions

The company offers services for purchasing laboratory equipment, collecting it and reselling it. These services form part of circular economy solutions aimed at helping organisations recover space, generate income and reduce the costs associated with the disposal of scientific material. The firm targets universities, research institutes, laboratories, healthcare organisations and companies from various sectors.

Presence in the British academic sector

According to the company's own information, more than 86 UK universities have trusted its services. This figure, which the firm presents as an indicator of its track record, reflects its links with the research, education and life sciences sector in the country.
