Laboratory Cleanup Using a Glovebox
Closing a laboratory involves time, administrative work, and responsibility—especially when it comes to gloveboxes, equipment, and hazardous materials. We handle the safe, code-compliant dismantling and recycling, all fully documented.
When a laboratory is shut down or downsized, the question quickly arises: What should be done with the facilities, equipment, and chemicals? Gloveboxes and hazardous materials, in particular, require professional handling and documentation. We take care of this task for you—from assessment to disposal.
What We Handle
- Safe removal of gloveboxes, laboratory equipment, and furnishings.
- Compliant takeover of equipment, chemicals, and hazardous materials.
- Complete documentation and records of the final disposition.
- Sustainable recycling—functional equipment and high-quality components are reused instead of scrapped.
- Environmentally responsible disposal when reuse is not possible.
Discreet and efficient
We work systematically and discreetly to ensure that the decommissioning process causes as little disruption to your operations as possible. You’ll have a single point of contact for the entire process and will receive the necessary documentation.
Gloveboxes with Resale Value
Gloveboxes, in particular, often retain a residual value. Instead of scrapping them, we consider purchasing them—which can significantly reduce the cost of the decommissioning. The complete process is described on the Laboratory Decommissioning page. We professionally prepare equipment intended for reuse in advance.
