make green chemistry mainstream practice in the chemical industry

The agenda identifies five core strategies for accelerating green chemistry innovation and adoption. These strategies are designed to:

1. Enhance market vitality by continuing to build a comprehensive and sustainable understanding of green chemistry drivers, market drivers and barriers. This information includes:

The specific and diverse obstacles faced by enterprises in the whole value chain.

The key leverage point of green chemistry.

How to establish the demand for green chemical solutions.

Reduce the risk of high cost expansion and market sharing.

Key green chemistry needs to be addressed or priority challenges.

Why do some green chemicals, materials and finished products succeed or fail in the market.

How to meet the labor demand of green chemical employers.

2. Increase the supply and demand for green chemical solutions and support smart policies by designing and advocating innovative state and federal policies. The components of smart policy include:

Create or support green chemistry research or manufacturing centers.

Funding, incentives and / or incentives for green chemistry research and commercialization.

Simplification allows green chemical and product manufacturers.

Strengthen education and vocational training in green chemistry.

Help to promote American green chemical innovative products to overseas markets.

Establish a regulatory framework that helps reduce industry uncertainty.

3. Promote cooperation and build partnerships to address priority challenges by facilitating the flow of information between suppliers and product manufacturers on green chemical solutions. Cooperation:

Create opportunities for companies facing chemical challenges and connect with companies that can develop green chemical solutions.

Improve the flow of information (such as chemicals and demand) up and down the supply chain.

Identify opportunities and deploy pre competitive strategies to jointly develop design standards and green chemical solutions.

Promote supply chain coordination of new technologies.

Strengthen green chemistry teaching and employ green chemistry professionals.

Help to integrate green chemistry and green engineering best practices into the company's cultural structure.

4. Release information to the market on green chemistry business, economic and health benefits, opportunities and funding. These data should include:

Available state and federal funds and place awards.

Quantitative data on the benefits of green chemistry to enterprises, public health and the environment.

The labor demand of green chemical employers.

Green chemical substitutes with special chemical functions.

Information on accidents caused by the use of hazardous chemicals and the costs of accidents to society.

5. Track progress by improving green chemistry indicators, and collect and report progress data regularly. These indicators should:

Measure the progress of green chemistry at the enterprise, industrial and economic levels.

Establish existing and effective tools and standards for economic and sustainable development.

Set benchmarks that lead to more benign chemical reactions, materials, products and processes.

Help to understand and establish business and policy cases of green chemistry, such as quantifying business risks, income, employment growth, economic benefits and capital flow trends of traditional chemistry.

Evaluate its effectiveness and usefulness regularly.

take action

All green chemistry practitioners and promoters can use the mainstream green chemistry agenda to determine the effective actions they will take to best support the innovation and adoption of green chemistry. It specifies six actions that GC3 itself will take over the next two years to make green chemistry a mainstream practice in the chemical industry.

These include the convening of the national green chemistry research and education summit, bringing together government and academic institutions to train a new generation of trained green chemistry experts; establishing a typical supply chain partnership to expand the chemical uses of green chemistry solutions; and creating educational, information and network tools for innovators to accelerate the development of green chemistry solutions.
