Green Chemistry and Engineering Learning Platform (GChELP)

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. 

Green Chemistry Innovation Scorecard Calculator

This tool is a slightly different approach to accounting for Process Mass Intensity (PMI) by focusing on waste. A joint effort by the IQ Consortium, ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable, and academic leaders, this Green Chemistry Innovation Scorecard web calculator illustrates how green chemistry and engineering innovation can reduce waste mass during bulk active pharmaceutical manufacture. The calculator uses a statistical analysis of 64 bulk active pharmaceutical manufacturing processes encompassing 703 steps across 12 companies to provide a relative process greenness score.

Green Chemistry Toolkit Yale-UNIDO

The Green Chemistry Toolkit is an interactive learning resource developed as part of 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. This resource aims to facilitate general global awareness and capacities to interested individuals from industry, the public sector, and academia alike.

GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals® Methodology

GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals® (“GreenScreen”) is a chemical hazard assessment methodology. 

The guidance provided in this publication clearly outlines every step for performing GreenScreen assessments, including how to assess and classify hazards, derive GreenScreen Benchmark™ scores and GreenScreen List Translator™ scores, and make informed decisions.

Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice (HSPiP)

Over 50 years of successful applications of Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) are captured in one package. HSPiP is an eBook, Software, a collection of Datasets and Working Examples all in one package. There are now HSP and other data on 10,000 chemicals in the current edition. The software doesn’t just calculate and visualise HSP in 3D, it has a solvent optimizer (up to 8 solvents, plus graphing of solvent mixture changes depending on Relative Evaporation Rates, Activity Coefficients and temperature), a polymer calculator, a DIY HSP calculator, a powerful Diffusion modeller.

IFRA Green Chemistry Compass

The IFRA Green Chemistry Compass is intended to help manufacturers of fragrance ingredients of all sizes and in all geographies to integrate green chemistry principles across company platforms in the design of safer and more sustainable materials using the following approaches:

• Incorporate Green Chemistry Principles across company platforms and the life cycle of their products, ranging from ingredient sourcing to manufacturing, and considering health and safety into all product lines.

INERIS Chemicals Substitution webpage

This webpage provides support to economic operators engaged in a substitution approach in order to promote the dissemination and sharing of information.
The page offers information provided by companies on the alternatives available for five families of substances:

  •  bisphenols,
  • phthalates,
  • alkylphenol ethoxylates,
  • per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and
  • persistent, mobile and toxic substances. 

One can download summary tables on alternatives for each of these categories. There is also a newsletter.
