Newly constructed laboratory

Efficient waste logistics starts at the drawing board: Stansz in a laboratory

A laboratory is no place to worry about waste. It’s about precision, safety, and seamless workflows. So when this state-of-the-art facility opened its doors in August 2017, every detail had been carefully considered—including waste management. How do you keep departments clean, calm, and safe while handling chemically contaminated materials? The answer: you don’t start planning for waste after construction. You integrate logistics into the building design from the start.

Stansz was chosen during the design phase—not as an afterthought, but as a core part of the infrastructure. The system spans two floors and ensures that laboratory staff don’t waste time on internal transport or temporary storage of waste on the departments.

With intake openings on every floor, waste is safely and directly transported to a central collection point on the ground floor. The selected container carousel not only offers high storage capacity but also fully automates the handling of chemically contaminated waste. This keeps the waste out of sight—and out of critical work zones.

Fewer actions, more peace of mind

The chute system was integrated into the building by RoosRos Architects (Oud-Beijerland) and construction company De Vries & Verburg (Stolwijk), in close collaboration with Stansz. The combination of technical insight, architectural alignment, and smart logistics makes this project a benchmark in future-ready building design.

What if waste management no longer disrupts your building—but becomes part of it?
