Color-code your waste stream with ECO Funnels
EH&S codes require laboratories to segregate incompatible materials. Color-coded ECO Funnels® make it easier to ensure proper segregation.
Stop accidental mixing of incompatible waste streams by using color-coded ECO Funnels. You can use our four lid colors to keep certain waste streams separate. A good rule of thumb is to ensure that you:
- Segregate acids from bases
- Segregate oxidizers from organic solvents
- Segregate flammable liquids from acids, bases, oxidizers
- Segregate corrosives acids from flammables, bases, oxidizers
- Segregate corrosive bases from oxidizers and acids
- Segregate water-reactive from aqueous solutions and oxidizers
We recommend the following (based on popular color-coding methods. Each organization determines its own system.)
