Building on the 2023 Sustainable Chemistry landscape report which identified key strategic areas that could accelerate innovation and transition to sustainable chemistry, this new report defines a plan to advance four strategic goals: Discovering More Sustainable Chemistry for Future Solutions; Supporting, Building, and Bridging Sustainable Chemistry for Discovery to Commercialization; Promoting Adoption and Growth of Sustainable Chemistry in Business and Subnational Government and; Creating a 21st Century Federal Service for Sustainable Chemistry.

Application of anthraquinone dyes from Madder (Rubia tinctorum L) to hydrophobic fibers using scCO2 versus water: a comparative study

The textile industry is one of the most water-intensive sectors, primarily attributed to the substantial amount of water required for dyeing. During dyeing, wastewater containing synthetic dyes and auxiliary chemicals is produced, underscoring the need for more sustainable dyeing methods to address environmental concerns such as the release of pollutants. Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) dyeing is an attractive sustainable method, as it is zero-water and zero-effluent.
