Sii Eco Group
With our heavy use of plastics, chemicals, and energy-dependent pieces of equipment, we’re among the least environmentally friendly industries in the world.
In an effort to improve our green credentials, Sii colleagues formed a School Eco Group, with a goal to improve sustainability by:
Increasing Recycling
Reducing plastic waste
Modifying lab practices
Reducing water waste
Reducing electricity usage
Sharing of Resources
LEAF Gold Status
Sii's Sir Graeme Davies Building (SGDB) was awarded a Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) Gold certification for 2023 - only the second building on campus to achieve this status - and again in 2024.
