Laboratories can implement waste reduction by adopting several practices:
Regular Training: Conducting regular training sessions for staff on best practices for waste management and reduction can build awareness and ensure compliance. Inventory Management: Keeping an accurate inventory of chemicals and supplies can prevent over-purchasing and expiration, thus reducing waste. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Establishing SOPs for waste management can streamline processes and ensure consistency in waste handling. Collaboration with Waste Management Services: Partnering with professional waste management services can help in safely disposing of hazardous waste and potentially recycling certain materials.
