Learn how to apply the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry/DOZN to design chemical processes and select greener chemical alternatives.

Green Chemistry is the design of chemical products or processes that either reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Consider waste and hazard prevention during design, rather than disposing, treating and handling waste after a processor material has been developed.

This presentation will discuss how to apply the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry/DOZN to design chemical processes and select greener chemical alternatives. Guest speakers from Millipore Sigma, a MIT Preferred Sustainable Provider for Chemistry, will present their greener chemicals and special discounted offers for the MIT Community.

Speakers: Wei Lee Leong, Officer, EHS - Industrial Hygiene Program (IHP), Ashley Lechlider and Ettigounder (Samy) Ponnusamy from Millipore Sigma
