The second International Conference on Sustainable Chemistry is reconvened following the success of the first meeting held at the University of Antwerp in 2011.
Chemical products make an irreplaceable contribution in every aspect of our modern day lives. Chemical processes and products play an essential role in industrial sectors as diverse as agriculture, automotive, clothing, communication, construction, food, health, leisure, mobility, plastics, space and transport. Our advanced society depends on the wealth creating aspects of industrial chemistry.
Societal expectations and the depletion of natural resources are pushing towards chemical processes becoming cleaner, more efficient, less consuming, safer and more secure. The ecological footprint of chemical products needs to be decreased.
Sustainable chemistry is concerned with the development of sustainable chemical products and processes and thereby integrating economic, environmental and social performance can provide an answer to these major challenges.
