SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY 2015: the way forward24. + 25. September 2015

This international conference aims to support Sustainable Chemistry and its role as a key

element of the future development of societies.

Numerous applications of Sustainable Chemistry have already demonstrated that new

approaches can be developed to pro

time generating economic benefits.

However, in an increasingly globalised economy, it is insufficient to develop Sustainable

Chemistry only on regional or national levels. Most of the impacts on huma

environment occur at a global scale

Current use patterns of materials and energy are unsustainable and rapidly depleting our

planet’s available resources. The increasing consumptio

and pollution, overstraining the world’s ecosystem.

• These issues will be discussed in a high

the Strategic Approach to the International Chemicals Management.

• Also, a concept for Sustainable Chemistry will be presented and discussed with

international experts and decision m

barriers and needs.

• Discussions will be stirred by panel discussions and elaborated in break

addressing emerging topics in sustainable chemicals management and production,

illustrated by best-of examples.

The conference is jointly organised by the

Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety

Agency (UBA) in cooperation with the Green Chemistry Commerce Council (GC3) and the

Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU).
