catlab

Catlab is now a Green and Sustainable Laboratory.

Catlab has achieved the "Green & Sustainable Laboratories" certification promoted by the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM), becoming the first laboratory operating in the public sector in Spain to achieve this status and one of the few in all of Europe. This certification contributes to a sustainable healthcare system and ensures that laboratories are environmentally friendly, ensuring that resources are used efficiently from ecological, social, and economic perspectives, while providing high-quality services to patients.

To achieve this certification, Catlab must:



✅ Adequate control of hazardous chemical products and reagents

✅ Manage energy and water to reduce consumption

✅ Proper management of waste generated in the laboratory from a sustainability perspective

✅ Involve suppliers throughout the entire process to reduce the carbon footprint.



With this certification, we reinforce our commitment to excellence and social commitment, demonstrating that analytical quality and innovation can go hand in hand with respect for the environment and sustainability.
