Sustainability in academic labs – simple tools for green benchtop chemistry - On Demand

Sustainability in academic labs – simple tools for green benchtop chemistry

Chemistry labs are amongst the most intensive consumers of energy and water. In this webinar, we look at where these resources are being used in university labs and identify areas that can be affected by individual scientists and groups. Water-cooled condensers and heating equipment are some of the worst culprits, so we discuss the issues and look at some improvements and alternatives that can be used to dramatically cut water and energy waste.

The discussion is driven by data from ourselves, universities, and non-profit environmental groups.
