SUMMARY:Green Chemistry as the Foundation of Sustainability and the Circula
 r Economy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  John Warner\, CEO &amp\; CTO of Technology Greenhous
 e\n\nWhile there is a lot of discussion about WHY we need sustainability (
 Climate Change\, Forever Chemicals\, Human Toxicity\, Ecosystem Degradatio
 n…) and WHAT we should do to measure and characterize sustainability (LC
 A’s\, UN SDGs\, Circular Economy\, Safe and Sustainable by Design\, Plan
 etary Boundaries…) It is especially important to discuss HOW we should m
 ake these changes. This is the domain of Green Chemistry. When a researche
 r contemplates a new experiment\, when an inventor imagines a new product\
 , he or she makes several small and large decisions that will have a profo
 und impact on the ultimate sustainability of what they do. If they do not 
 have the skills and tools to understand the sustainability implications at
  the mechanistic molecular level (green chemistry)\, it is unlikely that t
 hey will successfully achieve sustainability objectives. This presentation
  will discuss how green chemistry can be integrated into the earliest stag
 es of research and development to ensure maximum sustainability. Real worl
 d\, commercialized examples will be used to illustrate key points.
