Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
Yes

A brief description of the program:

Missouri S&T maintains a Chemical Redistribution and Recycling Program which is designed to give researchers access to unused chemical compounds on the campus. Using the University’s CHEMTRAK system, an on-line chemical inventory and tracking system, users are able to search the inventory for unused and unwanted chemicals. This program reduces chemical waste volumes and eliminates chemical purchasing costs of new chemicals, disposal costs of unused chemicals and disposal costs of unused portions of chemicals which would have been purchased new.
