An eco funnel in use.

A safety ecological funnel, also known as an ECO Funnel, is a funnel created by Dr. Ron Najafi to handle liquid chemical waste and help decrease the risk of contamination inside the environment. The eco funnel is safe to use and is compliant with local health and safety codes.[1]

Origin[edit]

The ECO Funnel was originally conceptualized by Najafi after he and his crew experienced complaints from other laboratories in the facility.[2] The reason the laboratories complained was due to the odorous fumes emanating from the laboratory, which caused an investigation beyond the confines of the chemical waste storage areas.[3]

Environmental regulations regarding waste containers were at that time becoming more rigorously enforced than previously, making the situation urgent. After researching available options, it became clear that no solution existed to the problem of effectively containing chemical waste evaporation aside from re-capping original waste containers after each use.[4]
