UNC Green Labs works with all members of the UNC-Chapel Hill community — from researchers and lab managers, to students, faculty and administrators — to encourage sustainable practices and promote a culture of sustainability in science in Carolina’s laboratories.

Every lab at Carolina is different. Yet there are always opportunities to make laboratories more sustainable.

The UNC Green Labs program offers opportunities to:

• Network with other green labs.
• Gather and share information about green issues in labs.
• Develop innovative practices and implement solutions that will make UNC’s labs more sustainable.

UNC Green Labs encourages anyone with knowledge on lab building waste, energy and water needs, and strategies for increasing energy efficiency to join its community. Subject matter experts from UNC Environment, Health and Safety, UNC Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling, UNC Energy Management, and Sustainable Carolina will help evaluate and implement new approaches.
