How To Dispose Of Isopropanol
Isopropanol, commonly known as isopropyl alcohol, is a widely used solvent in laboratory settings. Due to its versatility, it's found in various applications, ranging medical and hygiene uses to industrial environments.

How Should Labs Handle
Isopropanol Waste?
Due to its hazardous nature, isopropanol waste must be handled with care and professionalism.
In laboratory settings, the following guidelines must be followed:
Designated Disposal
Isopropanol waste should be collected in designated containers, clearly labelled to avoid any confusion with non-hazardous waste.
Avoiding Drains
Pouring large quantities of isopropanol down the drain is not advisable, as it can pose risks to the sewer system and is considered improper disposal under many local regulations.
Safe Storage
Until disposal, isopropanol waste should be stored in a well-ventilated area, in suitable containers to prevent leaks and minimise the risk of fire.
