OUR STORY

It started with a lab shutting down.

In 2026, we were working together at a large-scale chemical manufacturing site when we found ourselves involved in the shutdown and clearance of a major industrial laboratory. That experience changed everything.

Our story so far.

2026

A major laboratory shuts down.

We were working together at a large-scale chemical manufacturing site when the laboratory began its shutdown. Hundreds of pieces of equipment needed to be identified, disconnected, moved and either sold, reused or responsibly recycled.

A lot of equipment.

From GC systems and mass spectrometers to titrators, vacuum pumps, laboratory furniture and consumables; it was a huge variety of equipment. Some still had significant value. Some could be useful to another laboratory. Some needed to be recycled.

One idea.

We realised there had to be a better way; a more specialist, responsible and sustainable way to clear laboratories. Too much good equipment was being wasted simply because people didn't have the knowledge or network to find it a new home.

Lab Recycle.

We took what we'd learned and built a business around helping organisations clear laboratories properly. Helping them recover value from surplus equipment and giving perfectly good instruments a second life.

Today.

We're helping laboratories across the UK, from manufacturers and universities to government and research organisations. We're helping them turn unwanted equipment into something useful again.

let's build a more sustainable future

Got a laboratory to clear?

From individual instruments to complete laboratory clearances, tell us what you’ve got and we’ll take it from there.

Good equipment deserves another chapter.
