Green laboratories, which reduce environmental impact by promoting sustainable best practises such as waste minimization, have been increasingly popular in recent years. Researchers have created new technologies and verified a wide number of salivary indicators, paving the way for saliva to become a clinical reality in the near future. Saliva, like blood, includes a large number of indicators and has the potential to replace blood as a diagnostic fluid. When compared to traditional blood collection, the saliva collection approach is noninvasive, painless, and easy for participants. This chapter looks at the pros and cons of utilising saliva instead of blood in terms of the volume and impact of biomedical waste generated. This chapter presents experimental data and a theoretical explanation for how saliva-based diagnostics can significantly reduce the volume of potentially infectious, pathologically dangerous waste created by laboratories and have an impact on global waste management methods.
