About Us

The Industrial Green Chemistry Workshop (IGCW-2009) is to be held in Mumbai from 4th to 6th December, 2009, its an initiative to address Industrial needs for creating a momentum in implementing Green Chemistry and Engineering Technologies at industrial scale and allow altering realities on the ground.

The event is organized by Newreka Green Synth Technologies Pvt. Ltd., India and Green Chemistry Network Center-GCNC (Indian Chapter of American Chemical Society – Green Chemistry Institute, USA). The Co- organizer of this Workshop is Chemical Industry Digest - Blockdale Publication Mumbai, India.

This workshop is designed to take green chemistry from the cauldrons of the laboratory to the corridors of industry. It will involve from concepts to execution. It will look at revisiting chemistries and see how at source changes are being incorporated for greening the processes. Topics to be covered will include:

- Sustainable catalysis
- ‘Green’ reaction media
- Natural reaction conditions
- Recycling chemical process engineering
- Novel process intensification
- Innovative micro-reactions & reactors
- Green and clean R&D requirements
- Environmental policy and regulatory mechanisms (from control to prevention)
- Identification of priority barriers in implementing Industrial Green Chemistry (IGC)
- Ecosystem and funding for Enviropreneurship

Other issues like regulatory mechanisms, R&D requirements, venture capital and financial funding will also be highlighted. Awards will be felicitated with the objective of recognizing significant work in the field of Green Chemistry
