Green Chemistry is not merely a guiding principle but a professional imperative in modern scientific research. this immersive and practice-oriented workshop is designed to equip the next generation of chemistry students, researchers, and R&D professionals with actionable tools and measurable frameworks for integrating sustainability into research and laboratory practices.
Workshop Objectives
The IC2 developed the Chemical Hazard Assessment Database (CHAD) to enable users to search for free publicly available GreenScreen® assessments. The purpose of this tool is to promote awareness of assessments conducted on chemicals of high concern as well as potential alternatives, facilitate transparency and discussion, and reduce duplication of effort.
The Acid-Base Selection Tool developed by the ACS Green Chemistry Institute Pharmaceutical Roundtable aims to enable scientists across industry and academia to choose more sustainable acids and bases. The Acid-Base Tool contains over 200 acids and bases which the user can filter by parameters including pKa (in water or acetonitrile), functional groups, melting point, and boiling point.
The CompTox Chemicals Dashboard is a part of a suite of databases and web applications developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ChemFORWARD is a leader in creating broad access to chemical hazard assessments and safer alternatives. Formulation Ingredient Intelligence Reports (FIIRs) are specifically designed for formulators of cleaners and degreasers to quickly screen, optimize, and pre-qualify their products for certification.
ChemFORWARD leverages a shared, globally harmonized repository of chemical hazard assessments (CHAs), to quickly and cost-effectively provide an assessment of a formulation and suggest safer alternatives where needed.
Managed by ChemFORWARD, the data trust is designed to simplify access to chemical hazard data from dozens of credible sources, curate, maintain and continuously improve the data, and harmonize the information for actionable decision support that will accelerate the global transition to safer chemistry.
The data trust is populated and continually updated by licensed toxicologists using a comprehensive, globally accepted methodology. Each CHA is peer reviewed by independent toxicologists before being posted.
A range of free, shareable, and interactive educational and training materials created to promote the uptake of green and sustainable methodologies in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. More than thirty multimedia modules cover topics in six core skill areas: Foundations of Green Chemistry and Engineering, Guides and Metrics, Solvents, Synthetic Toolbox, Process Design, and Life Cycle Impacts.
This poster highlights the background, history, and applications of heterogeneous catalysis.
