A brief description of the institution's green laboratory program:
OSU's Green Labs Certification program measures lab sustainability and provides custom guidance for improvement, and recognizes the hard work of OSU lab managers and workers. Certification is open to all labs across OSU operations throughout the state.
Specific categories of actions for OSU's Green Labs Certification program include:
Education & Engagement
Energy
Purchasing
Transportation
Waste Management
Water
Each category includes a series of questions for lab personnel, as well as tips and advice for how to improve actions and scores in the Certification. After a survey submission, the Sustainability Office assess the responses, provides a score and then - most importantly - provides custom, personalized feedback, training and resources to help create a cleaner and greener research community. This also helps improve scores if the lab resubmits data at any point in the future to attempt to reach the next certification level. Levels include Copper, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
