CU Boulder Green Labs programThe CU Green Labs Program uses a team approach to minimize the use of energy, water, material goods, and hazardous chemicals in CU-Boulder laboratories without compromising research integrity or safety.

  • Involving individual laboratory members in identifying opportunities for efficiency in their laboratory and promoting efficient behavior among laboratory members
  • Upgrading inefficient laboratory equipment and techniques
  • Compelling labs to use lab space, fume hoods, and lab equipment resources efficiently and in a collaborative manner
  • Developing means to reduce the large flow of lab materials into the waste stream
  • Promoting green chemistry and chemical re-use where feasible
  • Raising awareness about the large resource footprint of laboratories
