We've had a great time working at the @UofTHatchery this summer!
#MeetNEST2020: Aiming for more sustainable practices, SoluSave (@SaveSolu) hopes to reduce chemical waste generated in laboratories. ⚛️
.@SaveSolu's primary focus is on the first principle of green chemistry: prevent waste. The co-founders were inspired when they saw the amount of solvents being used in their undergraduate labs. However, this waste problem is present at all levels in a university.

The co-founders of @SaveSolu started with the idea of recycling solvents in-house at @UofT. After doing research, and with the guidance of Prof Andy Dicks, they've joined the @UofTHatchery and are currently in the prototyping phase.
