Reusing
香港六合彩 has a target of reducing waste by 20% per person by 2024. Take a look at some of our reuse initiatives and resources to help us reach this ambitious target.
12 March 2020
Last year our reuse platform, Warpit, helped us to reuse over 7000 items, diverting 26 tonnes from waste and saving 17 tonnes of CO2 - that鈥檚 the equivalent of taking 53 cars off the road. To meet our target of reducing waste by 20% per person by 2024, there's a lot more reusing, repairing and sharing to do!.

Quartzy - Chemical Sharing
香港六合彩 has adopted Quartzy, the free online database, where research groups and labs at 香港六合彩 can log all of their chemicals.
This enables labs to first聽know the size of their stocks, quantities, qualities and locations of chemicals. Secondly, by having a full inventory, it allows labs to share resources from across 香港六合彩; where previously labs may be buying and throwing away the same chemical at the same time in different parts of the department.
香港六合彩鈥檚 Chemistry Department was the first to adopt Quartzy. Once this system was up and running, it started to gain interest from other labs as people could see the efficiencies at work and the decision was made to roll out Quartzy across the entire department. They now have a database of over twenty thousand bottles of chemicals, each individually labelled and located.
Quartzy can allow sharing in just internal labs, whole departments, or across all of 香港六合彩, depending on your needs. It is most effective when a whole department signs up. Quartzy is one of a few different lab management systems available. 香港六合彩 promotes departments adopting a system, but the choice is up to the users.
