A brief description of the program:
Indiana University has a chemical inventory database which allows researchers to make exchanges with new/used chemicals. Although there is no formal policy requiring labs to reuse older chemicals before new ones, as space and need for the older/used chemicals runs out they are sent back to the vendors to be burned in a cement kiln for energy.
