IPG × Wasteless Bio: Move Faster, Waste Less

Life science real estate isn’t just about securing the right building. It’s about what happens after the lease is signed: getting labs online, minimizing downtime during a move, and making sure capital isn’t tied up in equipment that no longer fits the next phase of growth.

That’s why IPG is partnering with Wasteless Bio—a marketplace built to help life science organizations buy and sell surplus lab equipment, consumables, and reagents so valuable resources can stay in use instead of going to waste. 

Together, IPG and Wasteless Bio will help life science teams move more efficiently from site selection and lab planning to fully operational laboratory environments, with a stronger focus on cost recovery, speed, and sustainability.

What Wasteless Bio Does

Wasteless Bio operates a platform that connects life science organizations with surplus or underutilized lab assets to buyers who need them—helping sellers recover value while giving buyers access to equipment and supplies at lower cost. 

Their mission is straightforward: reduce waste, lower costs, and make research more accessible by improving the circulation of high-quality scientific resources.

Why This Partnership Makes Sense

IPG has long advised life science teams through expansion, consolidation, and relocation—often under tight timelines, with strict operational requirements. Wasteless Bio complements this by addressing two critical operational needs: bypassing long equipment lead times for teams in growth mode, and providing compliant asset recovery for established facilities during transitions.

Here’s how the partnership creates real value for life science clients:

1) Supporting Tenant Transitions

Relocations and facility upgrades can leave teams with surplus lab equipment or underutilized inventory. Through this partnership, IPG clients can recover value from those assets by listing them on Wasteless Bio’s marketplace, turning idle inventory into liquidity while supporting industry circularity.

2) Accelerating Lab Activation

Finding lab space is one step. Getting it operational is another. Wasteless Bio can help clients source immediately available equipment to avoid supply chain delays and hit R&D milestones faster, ensuring labs are operational on day one of the lease.

3) Enhancing Client Value and Sustainability

This partnership improves outcomes on multiple fronts:

• Cost optimization: value recovery on outgoing assets + savings on incoming needs
• Faster lab setup: reduced procurement friction
• Sustainability: measurable waste reduction and support for Corporate ESG goals through asset lifecycle extension.

The Bigger Objective

The shared goal is simple: help life science organizations move from planning and occupancy to full operational capacity faster, combining speed to bench with smarter asset lifecycle management.These are major challenges in the industry, and they matter even more when teams are scaling quickly or navigating a facility transition.

How IPG Clients Can Use This Partnership

If you’re relocating, resizing, or bringing a new facility online, this partnership can support:

• Expansions (adding equipment without waiting on long lead times)
• Relocations (recovering value from surplus assets and reducing move waste)
• Buildouts and lab activations (bridging gaps between delivery and operations)
• Portfolio changes (right-sizing equipment and space as programs evolve)

Next Steps

If your organization is planning a move, expansion, or new lab launch, IPG can support the real estate strategy—and now, through Wasteless Bio, help you think through equipment sourcing and asset recovery in the same workflow.
