Life Cycle Assessment: Quantifying Environmental Impacts
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a process to evaluate the environmental burdens associated with a product, process, service, or activity by identifying and quantifying energy, materials usage, and environmental releases, assessing the impact of those, and evaluating and implementing opportunities to affect environmental improvements.
Green Chemistry Toolkit
The Green Chemistry Toolkit was developed under the Global Green Chemistry Initiative – a project led by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in partnership with the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University.
Practical Green Chemistry Tools and Techniques for Research & Development Scientists
This free workshop offered at the ACS Spring 2024 meeting in New Orleans will equip industry-based R&D chemists and engineers, as well as graduate students, with practical green chemistry tools, methods, and metrics. The content of this workshop will cover green chemistry basics through to the most recent innovative tools and metrics widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The workshop will be tailored toward scientists and engineers working in batch chemical operations in common use within the pharma industry, but the tools may be applied to other allied chemical industries (e.g.
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. The training will elaborate on specific human rights (such as the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment) that are related to the key characteristics of Sustainable Chemistry, as developed by the ISC3. Who is this course for?

Empowering Academic Researchers to Strengthen Safety Culture Workshop
About:
The ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) is offering this 3.5-hour workshop primarily directed at frontline researchers in academic institutions: graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and undergraduate students.
This workshop discusses the challenges of students making the transition to being independent researchers in academia. Topics discussed include: risk assessment of research projects, understanding the often confusing safety hierarchies of academic institutions, and graduate student-led Laboratory Safety Teams.
Workshop goals are to:
University of Wisconsin Green Chemistry Certificate
The green chemistry certificate provides students with a theoretical and practical working knowledge of the principles of green chemistry and would be an excellent choice for students with an interest in industrial careers. There are two options for earning the certificate, option one requires 18-23 credits, and option two requires 12 credits.
Course Highlights:
Grand Valley State University Green Chemistry Certificate
A Certificate in Green Chemistry will be a strong curricular addition to the degrees offered at Grand Valley State University. This 13-14 credit hour Certificate in Green Chemistry provides students at Grand Valley State University with a foundational knowledge of green, benign chemistry and its principles. This certificate can be completed in one calendar year, if all prerequisites were completed previously.
