A brief description of the program:
UIC's Environmental Health and Safety Office operates the Chemical Redistribution Program which helps avoid purchase costs, reduce disposal costs, and minimize waste generation.
Additionally, the Environmental Health and Safety Office is in the process of implementing a solvent recycling program on campus. Laboratories will be able to distill solvents to a grade pure enough for reuse. By reusing the solvents, there will be cost savings from reduced new solvent purchases and reduced hazardous waste disposal costs will be realized. Further, there will be reduced emissions from transportation of the virgin and waste materials since they will form a closed loop on campus.
This list of chemicals is only accessible to the UIC campus community.
