Transforming chemistry education to meet the challenges of the 21st century requires more than new curricular materials; it requires strong communities of practice. Facul

Thirty years in, the Green Chemistry Challenge Awards demonstrate that industry, small businesses, and academic researchers can and are making real progress in reducing hazards, improving efficiency, and delivering economic and environmental impact. Since

Producing life-saving medicines in a way that is environmentally sustainable by implementing green chemistry and engineering has been the focus of the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable (ACS GCIPR) since its inception in 2005. Investing in green chemistry has brought substantial benefits, both environmental and economic, and solidified green chemistry across the industry as the gold standard.

On May 23, a group of scientific leaders gathered at the Nobel Prize Museum to launch the Stockholm Declaration on Chemistry for the Future. (C&EN’s coverage of this event provides a great overview.) The declaration covers five areas where transformative changes are needed to support positive outcomes for society and ecosystems.

A new Green Chemistry Training program based in Benguerir, Morocco, offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for advanced students and early career faculty from across the African continent. 

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has officially announced a new Green Chemistry Initiative to fund $93.4 million in the field over the next 7 years and transform the trajectory of basic research in green chemistry. The announcement was made by Paul Anastas, who will be leading the initiative, during a keynote panel at the recent ACS GCI Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference (GC&E), of which Moore Foundation was a Platinum Sponsor

It is hard to believe it has already been a month since the ACS Green Chemistry Institute’s (GCI) 29th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference (GC&E) kicked off in Pittsburgh! This was an incredible week marked by outstanding technical programming, engaging events for students, and the voices of pioneers and emerging leaders in sustainable science and engineering.

Entrepreneurs from seven sustainable chemistry startups presented their innovative technology at the first-ever Startup Showcase at the Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference this June. Read about how the session helped draw a new group of innovators to the green chemistry community and learn more about the startups’ technology, which ranged from biochemicals to PFAS-free protective gear to non-petroleum-based textiles.
