CHEMICAL HYGIENE PLAN

June 24, 2019

The Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) applies to all laboratories at the University of Connecticut’s main and regional campuses, with the exception of the UConn Health Center, that use, store, or handle hazardous chemicals and to all personnel who work in these facilities. For the purposes of this plan, laboratories are defined as work areas where small quantities of hazardous chemicals are used on a non-production basis. It excludes workplaces whose function is to produce commercial quantities of materials. In laboratories, reactions, transfers, and handling of chemicals are designed to be safely carried out by one person. In addition to the requirements of the CHP, work in laboratories involving biological or radiological materials must comply with UConn’s

Our first pilot plant uses the Dawn technology to convert non-food biomass like wood chips or agricultural waste into industrial sugars and lignin. These sugars are turned into chemical feedstocks to make plastics. Currently, we are building a second demonstration plant, which converts sugar into plant-based mono-ethylene glycol (MEG), which is used in the production of chemicals and plastics. A building block for the production of bioplastics in Chemical Cluster Emmen. It can be used to produce 100% bio-PET.
