Over the past ten years there has been increasing scientific, government, and consumer attention to chemicals of concern in products. Concurrently, there has been a significant growth in green chemistry solutions to these substances. Despite this growth, green chemistry is still often a marginal consideration in product and process design and in government policy.
In this first webinar of the Green Chemistry and Commerce Council Green Chemistry Education series, three green chemistry champions - a chemical manufacturer, a pharmaceutical company, and a product manufacturer - will discuss their efforts to build awareness and make a case within their firms and to their suppliers and customers of the value of green chemistry – environmental, performance, and economic. They will discuss challenges and models to build momentum for green chemistry innovation.

The GC3 Green Chemistry Education Webinar series supports learning and dialogue within firms and across sectors and supply chains on green chemistry foundations, tools, and application. Webinar topics include introductory toxicology and its relationship to green chemistry, green chemistry tools, and case examples of green chemistry application. The webinar series will culminate in the development of a 1-2 day training curriculum for firms on green chemistry.
