Glass used to be washed and reused. It’s a lot more energy (and therefore greenhouse gases) to melt and reform into whatever.

It’s called indirect costs to use appropriate terms. These are part of awarded grant money but not part of the actual proposed research budget. These costs exist because there are utilities, office supplies, yes admin, etc that are needed to actually perform research that are 1) hard/impossible/impractical to quantify on a per grant basis and 2) specifically disallowed from being paid via the research budget.

The practice is fine in principle. Rates have gone up because inflation has gone up more than the budgets have. Also how universities allocate that part of their budget should also be changed. Rates should be walked back but that needs to be concurrent with budget increases.

Note that except for part of the PIs salary all salaries, benefits, equipment, reagents, etc are paid from the research budget.
