Side Panel "Green Chemistry: Innovative Approaches in the Design for New Products"

On 27 September 2023, the Side Panel "Green Chemistry: Innovative Approaches in the Design for New Products" was held as part of the International Conference on Chemistry, Chemical Technology and Ecology, dedicated to the 125th anniversary of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. The event was organised by the Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Centre in partnership with the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering of the Yale University (USA) within the framework of the UNIDO project "Global Green Chemistry Innovation and Network Programme" (GreenChem), funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Event objectives:
- Raise awareness among participants on green chemistry concept and the GreenChem Programme;
- Present the principles of green chemistry and its opportunities for safer, more sustainable chemicals and products;
- Show green chemistry case study;
- Discuss new opportunities related to green chemistry in Ukraine.

* The Global GreenChem Innovation and Network Programme (GreenChem) aims to strengthen the sound management of industrial chemicals and their waste through better control, reduction, and/or elimination protocols, and specifically to scale up green chemistry solutions for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury replacement through capacity building, innovation, and the creation of a global green chemistry network fostering visibility, support, and implementation.
The Programme is funded by Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and executed by Yale University in close collaboration with governmental counterparts of six beneficiary focus countries (Indonesia, Jordan, Peru, Serbia, Uganda, and Ukraine).
In Ukraine, the Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Centre is the national partner in implementing GreenChem Programme.
