Asia’s flagship convention- “Industrial Green Chemistry World” (IGCW) is an ever growing global community of industry leaders and academic experts committed to forwarding and hand-holding the emerging field of “Green Chemistry & Green Engineering” among the burgeoning Indian Chemical Industry.
The twin objectives of this Convention are, 1) to highlight leading ideas that have stood the test of time and have been transformed into successful implementations of ‘green chemistry &/or engineering’ based practices, and 2) to connect the right solution providers to the industry seekers.
IGCW-2015 promises yet another focused Industrial gathering to explore, engage-in and exchange- best practices, tools and technologies, which can make our chemical manufacturing processes environmentally benign, inherently safe and sustainably profitable.
4th IGCW-2015 aims to:
- Facilitate an industrial ecosystem to accelerate the implementation and industrialization of Green Chemistry and Engineering practices
- Bring forth technical know-how of green chemistry applications from the corridors of laboratories to the cauldrons of industry
- Familiarize green chemistry not as a different genre, but as an integral way of doing chemical processes
- Recognize emerging global trends in the direction of prioritizing sustainability and environmental safety
- Express Industry’s commitment towards triple bottom-line benefits of Profit, Society and Sustainable planet
- Connect various chemical community stakeholders
- Create value for chemical companies by providing and seeking relevant services
The 4th IGCW-2015 Convention & Ecosystem provides an apt platform for solution and technology providers from across the globe to showcase their potential technologies, products and/or services to the Indian Chemical Industry seeking right partners for accelerating the implementation and industrialization of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering based practices in Indian Chemical Industry.
In this context, the 4th IGCW-2015 stands out as a timely opportunity for exploring new paradigms, new ways of collaborating and to showcase new products and technological solutions in the green chemistry and/or engineering direction.
