Deploying Green Chemistry across the Global Chemical Enterprise

     
Thursday, February 16, 7:30-8:50am
Room 262

The principles of green chemistry offer a proven approach to designing safer molecules, materials and the processes by which they are made.  Green chemistry is a way to reduce costs, drive competitive advantage in the marketplace and ensure the right to operate in communities around the world.  While there are hundreds of successful examples of green chemistry, penetration has been small, but this is changing rapidly.  Given the manifest challenges of the 21st century (water, energy, food, medicine, transportation, environmental impacts), incorporation of green chemistry is forecast to grow exponentially over the next decade.  Come hear from leaders who have discovered the powerful economics of this emerging science.

Panelist:
