Why Green Chemistry & Engineering?

Green Chemistry and Engineering are much more than methods for addressing environmental problems. They offer a framework for achieving innovation. Time and again, companies looking to the future through the lens of green chemistry have enjoyed tremendous environmental and economic returns.

In recent times:

• A pharmaceutical firm saved millions of dollars—and prevented millions of gallons of waste—through a redesign of their process.
• A chemical company launched an entirely new product line from its green chemistry efforts.
• An electronics firm added millions of dollars in shareholder value through a redesign of their process.
