OECD workshop on financing sustainable chemistry
The OECD workshop on sustainable chemistry will discuss enabling conditions, lessons, and financing approaches that could stimulate investment towards safer and more sustainable chemicals, building on experience from Green Finance and Investment (GFI) for climate mitigation and other environmental goals.
Governments, investors, industry stakeholders, civil society and financial institutions are invited to participate.
The workshop will:

Green chemistry and the ocean-based biorefinery
Research into renewable chemicals, fuels and materials sourced from the oceans at Memorial University and elsewhere is employing green chemical technologies for the transformation of algae and food industry waste streams into useful products. A very small proportion of biomass utilization research is currently focused on these feedstocks and efforts focused in this area could reduce land space competition between food and chemical/fuel production.

RAWS: Polymer-Level Biodegradation Additive for Hard-to-Recycle Plastics
RAWS is a masterbatch technology incorporated at 1–2% loading during standard plastic manufacturing. It introduces a redox catalyst that initiates polymer chain scission under defined conditions ,heat and humidity and/or moisture. Terminal bio-assimilation produces CO₂, CH₄, H₂O, biomass, and mineral salts. No microplastic fragments are generated.
