Ever since the industrial revolution, chemistry has predominantly been following a linear make-usedispose path of production, being dependent on large amounts of raw materials and toxic chemicals, and, at the same time, creating significant amounts of waste and emissions. The chemical industry, therefore, carries an enormous environmental burden, and its reputation among the general public is extremely poor.
The project GreenChemForCE aims to unify the industrial and academic sectors to achieve greener chemical production in Central Europe by developing strategies and solutions for more sustainable processes and resource management, which will result in reduced pollution and minimized environmental damage in the region. Moreover, our intention is to encourage the regional chemical companies to adopt circularity principles in production and to help a better reception of the chemical industry by the general public.
