The Unseen Waste Crisis in Life Sciences
The life sciences industry faces a significant and often overlooked problem of waste. From liquidations to overordering, the cycle of unused and discarded high-quality instruments, reagents, and consumables is widespread. With 90% of biotech companies failing, valuable resources like equipment and consumables are often left without a home. For those still operational, deprioritised pipelines and inefficient inventory management lead to excess products sitting idle. Suppliers, too, face forecasting challenges, resulting in short-expiry or surplus items being wasted. Even charitable donation efforts are hindered by a lack of time and connections to find recipients. Wasteless Bio tackles this issue head-on, providing a platform to redistribute these resources, promote sustainability, and lower the cost of scientific research.

Our Mission
At Wasteless Bio, our mission is to bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots in the life sciences industry. We are dedicated to lowering the barriers to scientific innovation by creating a marketplace that connects those with surplus, high-quality resources to those who need them most. In a world where many research institutions and universities struggle with limited funding, while others discard valuable products, we aim to foster a collaborative ecosystem.
By minimising waste, redistributing resources, and enabling access to critical tools and materials, we empower researchers to focus on groundbreaking discoveries and the development of new therapies. Together, we're creating a future where science is more sustainable, impactful and cheaper.

Our History
Founded out of a shared frustration with the inefficiencies and wastefulness of the life sciences industry, Wasteless Bio was born to challenge the status quo. With over 90% of biotech companies failing and countless resources left unused, we recognised the urgent need for a platform that bridges surplus with demand. Starting with a few listings, we've grown into a comprehensive marketplace that now serves researchers, universities, and organisations across Europe and wider.
