Prescription for Change: Safe and Sustainable Chemistry in Global Pharmaceutical Systems

This webinar is the second session on a global series organised by ISC3, IOMC, and UNITAR (April–September 2026), designed to support the implementation of the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC) through Safe and Sustainable Innovation.

The series responds to a key challenge: How to translate international commitments on chemicals and waste into practical solutions—particularly at the design and innovation stages?

From Raw Materials to Products: PHA & How It's Used in Certified Compostable Products

This webinar focuses on polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), an emerging class of certified compostable bioplastics that are expanding the possibilities for sustainable packaging and products. Learn how PHA materials are produced, their unique performance characteristics, and how they are being used in compostable applications today. Our panelists will discuss feedstocks, production processes, material innovations, and end-use products, while exploring the role PHA can play in advancing the circular economy.

Biobased policy across borders: what really drives adoption in the UK, EU and US?

This joint webinar between BBIA and GCSB will compare how the EU, UK and US are shaping markets for sustainable bioproducts, with a particular focus on where policy supports — or obstructs — scale-up, market access and credible end-of-life outcomes. This fits the Global Center's emphasis on use-inspired, policy-relevant bioeconomy research, stakeholder co-generation, and circular bioeconomy outcomes, as well as the BBIA's interests across the bioeconomy.

This will be a virtual round-table discussion between three experts on regional policy:

Building Resilience Through Circular Chemistry

This symposium brings together researchers, industry leaders, community advocates, and policymakers to examine how green chemistry can advance industrial infrastructure while improving public health.

Advancing Sustainable Solutions Through Industry-Driven Research

Explore how cutting-edge research and industry collaboration in the global South are driving sustainable innovation in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This GC&E Global session will feature leading experts sharing practical approaches to decarbonization, circularity, and bio-based systems. Through a short talk, an industry case study, and an interactive discussion, discover strategies for translating research into impactful solutions across global value chains.

Session Goals & Learning Objectives

Protecting Chemists When Data Are Sparse: NAM Based Occupational Hazard Assessment in Early Drug Discovery

During early-stage drug discovery, novel compounds and intermediates often have limited toxicological data, so how do chemists and safety professionals protect themselves?
