Learn how MIT’s centralized chemical inventory system can help your lab reduce purchasing & waste generation.

Green Chemistry is the design of chemical products or processes that either reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. An efficient chemical inventory management system, in conjunction with a hazardous waste program, can reduce over-purchasing and waste generation.
With a well-maintained inventory, less over-purchasing will lead to less waste being generated.

This presentation will discuss how the EHS Office supports green chemistry through chemical inventory sharing and chemical exchanges.

Speakers: Patrick O’Donnell, Industrial Hygiene Chemical Inventory Specialist, EHS and Steve Monstur, Senior Officer, EHS – Environmental Management Program (EMP)
