Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
A brief description of the program:
All of the hazardous waste generated from the Columbia campus is disposed of through our vendor Tradebe. Through a collaborative effort, we have identified many waste streams that can be stabilized and reused in other industries. This allows us to minimize how much of our waste is sent to the landfills or incineration while complying with RCRA standards for proper disposal. A majority of our waste can be blended for fuel and reused by a cement company located near Tradebe’s treatment and disposal facility in Chicago.
