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 from cleaning to specimen preservation. 

However, the disposal of isopropanol must be managed with care to prevent environmental damage and adhere to safety protocols. At Collect and Recycle, we provide proper disposal methods with our hazardous waste collection service.

In laboratory environments, isopropanol waste is considered a chemical waste, despite its common household uses. Laboratories often generate isopropanol waste in larger quantities than typical household settings, and this waste must be managed according to stricter standards due to the potential risks and environmental impact.

By choosing our hazardous waste collection service, you are making a responsible choice for the environment. This service ensures that isopropanol is disposed of in a manner that minimises its ecological impact.

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.

Until disposal, isopropanol waste should be stored in a well-ventilated area, in suitable containers to prevent leaks and minimise the risk of fire.

What Is Isopropanol Used For?

Isopropanol is widely used as a cleaning solvent, disinfectant, and degreasing agent in industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and manufacturing. It also acts as an intermediate in chemical production. Because it is flammable and volatile, businesses must manage isopropanol waste safely with professional collection and disposal services.

Is Isopropanol Considered Hazardous Waste?

Yes, isopropanol is classified as hazardous waste due to its flammability and potential health risks. Under UK law, it cannot be disposed of with general waste or poured into drains.
