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.
Circular Economy in Ukraine: Implementation Support
The course addresses the importance of the circular economy, its principles, strategies, practices, and business models, as well as the means to promote its implementation at the country or community level. It offers practical cases from Ukraine and around the world.
The course will be of interest to representatives of government (at various levels), civil society, and anyone interested in the implementation of the circular economy in Ukraine.
The course comprises three modules:
Green Chemistry Connections
Beyond Benign will host virtual and monthly Green Chemistry Connections around Green Chemistry education using the Green Chemistry Students Learning Objectives from the Green Chemistry Commitment program as a loose framework. Register to stay in the loop about upcoming speakers.
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.
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. 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?
