AthenaTecs & the European Green Deal
Discover Renewable Energy Solutions for a Greener Future
AthenaTecs contributes to the European Green Deal by integrating sustainability, scientific innovation, and global collaboration across its activities. From the development and distribution of eco-friendly lab materials to support for enzymatic plastic recycling, our efforts align with the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. Through the use of low-impact reagents like our extraction-free buffer and research into microplastics, we support the EU’s Zero Pollution Action Plan. Our commitment to sustainable research and development in diagnostics and public health is further reflected in our alignment with initiatives like Horizon Europe. Finally, by engaging in international partnerships and applying solutions in the field, we actively contribute to the implementation of SDG 17 and the broader goals of Green Deal diplomacy. The graphic illustrates how these pillars connect to a shared vision: a healthier, more sustainable, and globally connected future.
Driving Sustainable Innovation in Diagnostics and Research
At AthenaTecs, we align our mission with the goals of the European Green Deal by developing sustainable, research-use-only (RUO) products and services that reduce environmental impact while supporting scientific progress. From eco-friendly labware to non-toxic molecular buffers and circular R&D projects, our work supports a healthier planet and a more responsible biotech industry.
Sustainable Laboratory Products
We develop and distribute environmentally conscious lab essentials, including:
- Plant-based and recyclable plastics (e.g., pipette tips, petri dishes)
- Non-toxic extraction-free lysis buffers
- Reagents safe for field use and disposal
Our products are designed to reduce hazardous waste, protect lab staff, and support green procurement in academic and research institutions.
Green R&D Innovation
Science That Supports People and the Planet
Our internal R&D focuses on areas that directly contribute to Green Deal goals, including:
- Field diagnostics for vector-borne diseases (e.g., malaria, dengue, Zika)
- CRISPR and AI-based tools for low-resource settings
- Microplastics exposure mapping using nanosensors
We also offer custom R&D and assay development services, enabling partners to co-develop diagnostics with minimal ecological impact.
Circular Economy & Waste Reduction
Reimagining the Lab Through Eco-Conscious Design
AthenaTecs supports the transition to a circular lab economy by:
- Partnering with sustainable suppliers
- Promoting re-use and low-impact packaging
- Designing buffers and biopolymers that avoid persistent environmental residues
We believe diagnostics can be both high-performance and low-footprint.
Driving Sustainable Innovation in Diagnostics and Research
Global Partnerships for Green Science
Built on Collaboration and Accessibility
We work with academic labs, NGOs, biotech startups, and public health partners to deliver accessible, sustainable solutions for diagnostics and sample handling — especially in low- and middle-income regions.
Why It Matters to Investors
Sustainable Growth in an Expanding Market
AthenaTecs is building future-ready solutions at the intersection of diagnostics and sustainability — two key priorities in European innovation and public funding. Our eco-conscious approach reduces regulatory and environmental risk, making us a strategic partner for investors committed to green innovation.
