MRC CTU and the environment
At the MRC Clinical Trials Unit we aim to promote
environmentally-friendly initiatives and to implement ideas and
practical guidelines on how the MRC Clinical Trials Unit can help
to protect and improve the environment.
Simple little things can make a difference. If we all do our bit,
we can make a big difference.
We're working to protect the environment by:
- Telling suppliers and staff about what we're trying to do to
protect the environment and asking for their help
- Encouraging staff to turn off lights and other electrical
equipment when rooms are empty
- Promoting economy in the use of paper and other
consumables
- Encouraging the purchase of recycled materials and those which
can be recycled
- Minimising waste by encouraging the exchange and reuse of
equipment and materials within the Unit
- Giving old computers to local charities for re-use and
redistribution
- Recycling waste cardboard, paper, cans, bottles and
plastic
- Sending used toner and inkjet cartridges to the Marie Curie Cancer Care Charity
for recycling
- Wherever we can, avoiding the use of harmful substances and
solvents
- Ensuring that batteries, circuit boards, electronic components
and fluorescent tubes are separated from other waste and disposed
of properly
