"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

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

A brief description of the program:

Many materials that laboratories submit as chemical waste are actually surplus chemicals that are reusable. To assists in waste reduction, the Environmental Health and Safety Chemical Management Program accepts both opened and unopened containers of unwanted chemicals from laboratories and service areas throughout campus.
The Chemical Management Program takes the unwanted chemicals and redistributes them to other Ohio State University operations. The redistributed chemicals are provided free of charge to any Ohio State operation.
