From Lab to Market Course: Innovating Green Chemistry for a Sustainable Future

This comprehensive six-modules course provides a foundational understanding of product and process safety and the essential principles of chemistry in industrial applications. It begins by exploring critical concepts and practices that ensure safety during product life cycle. Participants will examine the significance of chemical processes across various industries and gain knowledge of compliance and best practices related to regulations and legislation.

The course emphasizes innovative approaches that minimize environmental impact while offering insights into the effects of harmful substances on human health and the environment. Students will also learn to evaluate the environmental impacts of products throughout their lifecycle, considering trade-offs involved. The final module encourages analysis of product development and its impact for society.  

By the end of the course, participants will understand the key aspects of product development and safety, regulatory compliance, and the role of green chemistry in sustainable practices, equipping them to effectively manage these important topics in their work. 

The 6 modules in this course can be taken individually or together to earn a certificate.
