Chemists across the industry and academia are driving innovation by integrating green chemistry and engineering principles into the design, manufacturing, and processes of chemicals. Join three recipients of the 2024 Green Chemistry Challenge Awards—a collaboration between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention and the American Chemical Society’s Green Chemistry Institute—as they share their impactful scientific achievements.
Organized by the Royal Scientific Society in collaboration with Yale University and UNIDO as part of the prestigious Global GreenChem Program, the event will host the Fathers of Green Chemistry, Prof. Paul Anastas and Prof. John Warner, alongside key stakeholders from government, industry, and academia.
The discussions will explore how Green Chemistry can fundamentally reform the concept of chemical safety, providing innovative solutions to reduce the burden of chemical management while advancing sustainability and driving industrial innovation.
This free, virtual workshop is designed to help educators effectively adapt and implement a new case study that examines the various considerations and factors driving greener innovations in the metal plating industry. One of the primary chemicals used in this sector is PFAS, which acts as a fume suppressant to control chromic acid mist during the chrome plating process. While PFAS reduces exposure to the known health hazard of hexavalent chromium, its health and environmental impacts raise significant concerns, underscoring the need for greener alternatives.

Join the National Academies for a discussion about the future of consumer products in a decarbonizing world on Dec 6, 2024 from 1:30PM - 2:45 PM ET.
Whether we are aware of it or not, the chemical industry and downstream sectors that use chemicals impact nearly every manufacturing and service sector worldwide and are deeply connected with humanity's way of living. The International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) facilitates the transformation of these sectors towards Sustainable Chemistry as a major contribution to achieving the United Nations SDGs. Sustainable Chemistry addresses the needs of the present without compromising the ecological, social and economic well-being of future generations.
