Our goal is to use a team approach to minimize the use of energy, water, material goods, and chemicals in CU Boulder Laboratories.

To learn more, visit our website and take a tour.

Some items that may be of particular interest in SEEC and SEEL:

1. Financial incentives for labs on a case by case basis to help purchase energy and water efficient equipment. We have already helped labs at SEEC/SEEL with refrigerators, ULT freezers, and waterless condensers.
   
   
   
2. Buff Surplus is a website tool to help facilitate the exchange and re-use of surplus property between campus departments.
   
   
   
3. Recycling and waste diversion:
   
   
   • Learn more about solvent recycling available on campus.
     
     
   • Metal lab container recycling in the loading dock of SEEL Room 196.
     
     
   • Brown glass bottles: Some labs at SEEL are working together to re-use brown glass bottles for hazardous waste collections. If you would like more details please contact us.
