Why minimize waste?

▪ Reduce costs
▪ Increase process efficiency and productivity
▪ Reduce present and future regulatory burdens
▪ Improve workplace safety
▪ Improve environmental quality
▪ Maintain or improve institutional image
How can you minimize waste?

▪ Plan ahead
▪ Order only the amount needed
▪ Avoid storing excess chemicals
▪ Share unneeded chemicals
▪ Keep chemicals properly labeled
Instructional Laboratory
▪ Reagents to be used in the experiments
are to be prepared by the lab technician.
▪ Chemical wastes generated during
experiments are to be placed in
designated containers.
▪ Enter amount/concentration of waste in
the waste logbook provided by the
instructor.
▪ Call the attention of your instructor if
there are any unused chemicals left after
experiment
Waste Containers
▪ Material must be compatible with waste
Examples:
–Acids and bases: do NOT store in
metal
–Hydrofluoric acid: do NOT store in
glass
–Gasoline/solvents: do NOT store in
lightweight polyethylene containers
▪ Do NOT completely fill container; allow
some space above (~10%)
▪ Secondary containment
Waste Storage

▪ Do NOT place waste containers on:

–Floor
–Fume hood
–Sink
▪ Always ensure that containers are
capped properly at all times
▪ Place incompatible chemical wastes as
far apart from each other as possible
