Green Labs

The 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
