Masterclass on Sustainable Chemistry – Business Opportunities and Sustainability Check

What will you learn? In the on-demand ISC3 Masterclass, basic concepts of Sustainable Chemistry are presented. Start-ups also learn, why a clear and plausible sustainability profile is important for start-ups. Furthermore, the ISC3 experts will introduce the ISC3 Sustainability Checklist for Sustainable Chemistry changemakers and explain the business opportunities when the underlying sustainability criteria are addressed. The Masterclass also includes a practical part, where the start-ups will explore which sustainability criteria could be prioritized and/or addressed.

Plastics and Sustainable Building Certificate

What will you learn? ISC3 has compiled all its knowledge on the topic of plastics and sustainable building in the form of a self-paced E-learning course. Describe how Sustainable Chemistry can make buildings sustainable. Estimate the hidden costs in a building’s life cycle. Create sustainable solutions for developing countries based on resilient buildings utilising local materials. Draft a strategy to substitute hazardous additives or to keep exposures and releases as low as possible.

Sustainable Chemistry and Human Rights

What will you learn? This policy training is meant to support the development of policy input and training of participation on human rights issues, related to Sustainable Chemistry and sustainable development.
