Major activities in Green Chemistry
Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence – one of the largest and most successful centres in the world for the promotion of sustainable chemistry (www.greenchemistry.net). The four pillars of the Centre are research, education, industrial collaboration and networking. Both pure, discovery-orientated research and translational, collaborative research with industry is carried out. The Centre specialises in creating supply chain consortia and providing the IP and underpinning research to support multi-partner, cross-sector collaborations directed at producing genuinely green and sustainable solutions for today’s challenges. The original Centre was established by James Clark in 1998 and subsequently given Centre of Industrial Collaboration (2003) and then Centre of Excellence status in 2006 with Clark as its director.
Green Chemistry Networks – the Green Chemistry Network (www.chemsoc.org/gcn), the world’s largest private membership network focussing on green and sustainable chemistry was founded by James Clark in 1998 and is run by Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence Staff. The GCN supports activities worldwide and reaches from the school classroom to the company boardroom. One of its activities Green Chemistry and the Consumer has successfully integrated the retailer/producer end of the consumer good supply chain into the green chemistry debate and is helping to create new multi-sector supply chain consortia for a wide range of new products in areas including furniture, personal care products and floor coverings. The new EU network Sustoil also led by Clark brings together industry and academia to accelerate the development of second-generation biorefineries for the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels from plants.
Green Chemistry Education – the education of future generations and the training of current employees in sustainable industrial technology is vital for the wellbeing of society. Initiatives led by James Clark have shown the way to achieving this: he leads Europe’s first Green Chemistry Masters degree which has produced over 100 qualified young scientists who have gone into careers in industry, government, retail and education and has encouraged similar courses in countries including the UK, Canada, Spain and France; a new initiative Green Consumer Products will use exhibitions and a website to bring green and sustainable chemistry to children and to the general public; on-line courses and master classes are bringing continuing professional development to scientists and technologists in industry worldwide and through low technical materials to producers, retailers, NGOs and governments.
