Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
A brief description of the program:
The Chemical Exchange Program was developed to identify chemicals on campus that are no longer of use to the original user and divert them from disposal. These chemicals are tracked and marketed to other potential users on campus.
The Chemical Exchange Program is a free service provided to the campus and not only reduces purchasing costs, but also reduces disposal costs. In 2010, approximately 482 kg of chemicals were exchanged in 117 transactions within the Point Grey campus.
