The Sustainable Laboratory Practices Working Group examines laboratory activities and is tasked with developing procedures and tools on how to “green” those activities. This includes developing guidance, tools, best management practices and identifying new opportunities for greening laboratory activities at NIH. The working group has recently focused on developing tools aimed at waste reduction, minimizing the use of toxic materials, energy use, and other sustainability issues.
