The “Enhancing Chemical Waste Management in University Laboratories” seminar, conducted by Dr. Sanger on May 7, 2025 in the Department of Chemistry, focused on sustainable disposal methods, waste minimization strategies, and eco-friendly alternatives for hazardous laboratory chemicals, equipping researchers and students with best practices to reduce environmental impact. This initiative directly supports SDG 3 (ensuring healthy lab environments), SDG 4 (promoting sustainable science education), SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation by preventing chemical pollution), SDG 9 (green laboratory innovation), SDG 12 (responsible chemical consumption and waste reduction), and SDG 13 (climate action through lower toxic emissions), highlighting the university’s commitment to safe, sustainable scientific practices aligned with global development goals.
