The Institut Pasteur’s ReUse Center reopened on April 9, 2026. It attracted many visitors and gave approximately €2,700 worth of lab supplies on the very first day—a real success. Just imagine the savings the Institut Pasteur will realize over the course of a year!

How does the ReUse Center work?

The CSR Department' goal : to make things simple and efficient for everyone. Plus, lab supplies and office supplies are available on a SELF-SERVICE basis!
