Today marks an important milestone in sustainable chemistry: the launch of the Sustainability Catalyst, a new initiative aimed at finding more efficient, environmentally-friendly chemical processes. Developed by an international consortium of leading researchers from universities, research institutes, and companies, the Sustainability Catalyst is a platform for collaboration to drive research and development of new technologies and processes that reduce or eliminate the environmental, health, and safety impacts of chemical processes. Through the platform, research teams will work together to identify potential solutions to existing sustainability challenges in the chemical industry, and develop and implement new processes that are more efficient, safer, and more environmentally friendly. By leveraging the collective expertise of the consortium, the Sustainability Catalyst will create an innovative environment to accelerate progress towards a more sustainable future.
