• >97% of all manufactured products involve one or more chemical processes
• of the resources removed from the Earth, only 10% are retained in the product and 90% are waste (Referred by Buzz Cue)
• how do we reconcile these facts with maintaining a healthy environment?
The Grand Challenge of Sustainability
1. Prevention rather than remediation2. Atom Economy3. Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses4. Designing Safer Chemicals5. Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries6. Design for Energy Efficiency7. Use of Renewable Feedstocks 8. Reduce Derivatives 9. Catalysis10. Design for Degradation11. Real-time analysis for Pollution Prevention12. Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention
