Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
A brief description of the program:
Surplus chemicals are given to UWM's campus redistribution program for reuse elsewhere on campus. This includes chemicals, paints, cleaners, gas cylinders, and even lab glassware. Departments will also check the surplus chemical redistribution inventory before ordering new chemicals.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
University Safety & Assurances receives chemicals that labs want to dispose of. If the chemicals are still in good shape, not reactive (in time), and not expired, they are added to a spreadsheet that is emailed to our generators to see if they are interested.
