The conference will cover developments at the frontiers of green chemistry and sustainable technologies. It will focus on the design, development and implementation of chemical products and processes that reduce or preferably eliminate the use of hazardous substances and the generation of waste while maintaining economic viability. The conference will provide an international forum for scientists and policy makers from industry, academia and government organizations interested in green chemistry and sustainability.
