Abstract: With the continuous development of higher education and the significant investment in talent cultivation and technological advancement by the country, the safety management and proper disposal of laboratory waste in universities have become crucial for the construction of environmentally-friendly and secure campus and the sustainable development of human society. This paper categorizes and describes the characteristics of chemical laboratory waste, and analyzes the current issues in waste management and disposal from five perspectives, extensive coverage, high personnel mobility, diverse and complex waste, insufficient safety and environmental awareness, and inadequate management. By taking into account the specific circumstances of schools, colleges, and local enterprises, a closed-loop management and disposal practice model is proposed, which integrates safety and environmental education, experimental planning, implementation of institutional regulations, and efficient information support, aiming to provide a reference for the treatment of laboratory waste.

Key words: Chemical laboratory, Waste, Safety management, Disposal
