Chemical Management Unit (CMU) or formerly known as Chemical Management Centre (CMC) was established in January 2012 under the management of University Laboratory Management Centre (PPMU), UTM Johor Bahru. The unit coordinates chemical management in the campus to ensure optimization of chemical usage for all relevant departments in UTM. Other than that, CMC was also established to manage chemical procurement, inventories, segregation, scheduled waste disposal and safety. In January 2019, CMC was rebranded to CMU yet still running the same functions.
CMUKL, on the other hand, was established in the same year but only caters some of its main functions in chemical management, safety, as well as, scheduled wastes disposal, where previously, these functions were carried out by PPMU.
