#EBW25 Previews: 7A: Green Biobanking: Paving the Path to Sustainable Practices
In recent years, discussions on sustainability have focused mainly on the development of business plans to ensure financial viability. With the high energy costs and climate crisis that we are currently facing, a new dimension has been added to the topic of sustainability. In this session, we will present examples of how green biobanking and circular economy could be an answer to these challenges.
