Revision as of 13:37, 16 February 2010

In 2005 the National Research Council of the National Academies commissioned a study of what it would take for the chemical enterprise to be sustainable in the 21st century. The Bruntland Commission's definition of sustainability was their guidepost: "Meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs."

Green chemistry and engineering was identified as one of the most important approaches to achieving sustainability for the chemical industry. Green chemistry is described by twelve principles and is defined as "the design, development, and implementation of chemical products and processes to reduce or eliminate the use and generation of substances hazardous to human health and the environment." This symposium will explore how industries are addressing the challenge of becoming more sustainable through the application of green chemistry and engineering principles. Examples of successful approaches will be presented with a focus on how the pharmaceutical industry is adopting these principles in their business practices.
