At Spark, we’re committed to enhancing sustainability in our labs. To reduce waste, including biohazardous waste, we have implemented the TerraCycle Safety Equipment & Protective Gear Zero Waste Box™ recycling program. Recycling boxes are available in all our labs for employees and visitors. Once filled with safety glasses, TerraCycle transforms them into plastic pellets for creation of new products. So far, Spark has successfully recycled 30 boxes of safety glasses which will become more than two thousand pounds of plastic pellets! #PlasticFreeJuly#Sustainability

Visit the Hereditary Retinal Disease & Genetics Symposium 1 on Wednesday, July 17, at 3:10pm CEST to hear about our data.
