The environment in which we work and research plays a crucial role in determining not only our efficiency but also our footprint on the planet. With this in mind, the Dunn School Green Group is taking proactive steps towards ensuring that the Dunn School's practices are both environmentally sustainable and operationally safe.

​

Clear Recycling Signages for Effective Waste Management: Recognizing the importance of correct waste segregation, we've introduced distinct signages for:

​

Food: Guiding organic waste to its proper place.
Mix recycling: such as Cardboard & Paper, plastic: Channeling these materials for efficient recycling.

Broken Glass: Promoting safe disposal of shattered lab glassware.
Hazardous Waste: Stressing the importance of specialized disposal for lab safety and compliance.

Comprehensive Lab Checklists for Consistent Practices: Understanding that consistency is paramount to lab safety and environmental responsibility, we've formulated:

​

Recycling Checklist: An inclusive list detailing recyclable materials, aiding in proper waste sorting.

Induction Checklist: Guiding newcomers on best practices from their first day.
End-of-Day Lab Checklist: Standardizing the process of closing the lab with safety and eco-awareness in mind.
Leaving the Lab Checklist: Assisting those departing, ensuring they exit leaving a secure and eco-conscious workspace behind.
With these signages and checklists, we aim to reinforce a culture of responsibility and awareness. Let's work together in championing these initiatives, moving towards a more sustainable and safe future at the Dunn School.
