By now you’ve heard that many histology labs are recycling their xylene, alcohol, and formalin. What are some reasons to recycle solvents?
Don’t Throw Solvents Away – Recycle!
You don’t throw your car away whenever it gets dirty – you clean it. The same is true for used solvents. They’re still perfectly usable – they just need to be recycled. Recycling removes dirt and contaminants and makes them just like new. Use recycled solvents over and over again and watch the savings accumulate.
Save Money
Money saved on solvents is available to upgrade other equipment in the lab or for much-needed supplies. Wouldn’t it be great if that money used to buy solvents could be used for a new tissue processor, stainer, or microtome?
Start recycling your solvents and you’ll need to decide what to do with that extra money in your budget. When was the last time that happened?
Reduce Health Care Costs
Here’s a chance to reduce health care costs without cutting corners. You’ll have the same quality solvents and be giving the same quality diagnoses.
It’s great for the environment
Used solvents get hauled to a hazardous waste incinerator and burned. Recycling solvents reduces carbon dioxide emissions and hazardous waste. Generations to come will thank you for leaving the world a better place.
Recycling feels good!
No matter what else happens, you’ll feel good every day because you are reducing healthcare costs, hazardous waste generation, and carbon dioxide emissions.
