The Freezer Challenge
The 2025 Freezer Challenge will officially launch in early January 2025 and run until July 1, 2025 as usual. Labs that participate this year will not have access to an online scoresheet right away. Instead, labs are encouraged to keep track of their own efforts to implement the Best Practices included in the challenge, and an online system of record will become available by the end of February.
Thousands of scientists around the world compete in the International Laboratory Freezer Challenge each year to learn how to be more energy efficient with their lab's cold storage, improve sample accessibility, reduce risk, and save costs for their institutions. Second only to fume hoods, your lab's cold storage (refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms) is likely the next biggest category of energy consumers in your lab space. Ready to do something about that?
This fun, free program is a partnership between My Green Lab and the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL), two nonprofits working within the laboratory sustainability space. No other international competition engages more laboratories in sustainability than the Freezer Challenge. Read on to learn more, and don't forget to register your lab to join in the fun!
