Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the program:
Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) has a Recycle Chemical Program that encourages labs to reduce their chemical inventory by relinquishing surplus chemicals that are then made available to other labs on campus.
The surplus chemical inventory is a searchable electronic database called Chematix that is available to all labs registered in the database. To access Chematix, a lab simply has to register, and then can use the inventory to donate chemicals or to request surplus chemicals from EHS. Donated chemicals are picked up directly from the lab by EHS and chemicals requested from surplus are delivered to the lab within 1-3 business days.
In addition, this program is promoted by the Office of Sustainability through their Green Spaces Certification Program for labs (http://sustainability.ualberta.ca/greenspaces).
