ABOUT

GREEN CHEMISTREE FOUNDATION

Green ChemisTree Foundation (GCF) is, a registered not-for-profit organization, committed to accelerating implementation of Green Chemistry worldwide. Inspired by the vision of Chemical Industry being “Green & Sustainable”, GCF is engaged with all stakeholders of Chemical Industry including Industry, Academia, Research Institutes, Government bodies, students, media, etc through diverse initiatives. 

GCF has been collaborating with various international organizations like ACS-Green Chemistry Institute, ACS-GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable, Centre for Green Chemistry & Green Engineering at Yale, Beyond Benign, International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3), Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI), etc to accelerate the implementation of Green & Sustainable Chemistry through diverse initiatives.
Since its formation in 2009, GCF has emerged as a focused platform to engage the Industry and Non-Industry groups in exploring the world of Green & Sustainable Chemistry based practices, as a possible way of doing chemistry and impacting the collective ‘green’ consciousness across the value chain of the Chemical Industry:

 

– by creating a new DNA of thoughts – for preventing, providing, and partnering

 

– by bringing together & connecting various Chemical communities (industry, academia, research laboratories & government bodies)

 

– by bringing into focus the industrialization and implementation of green & sustainable chemistry

 

– by identifying barriers to implementation of Green Chemistry & bridging the gaps

SOLUTION PROVIDERS DATABASE

There are many environmental challenges for which innovative solutions have already been developed & may be even commercialized by someone in other part of the country or other part of the globe, but the Industry isn’t aware about it. This ‘lack of awareness & lack of connect’ is one of the key barriers to implementation of Green & Sustainable Chemistry.

 

We believe bridging this gap between Chemical Industry looking for solutions for their various environmental challenges (Solution Seekers) & companies offering innovative solutions in the domain of environment (Solution Providers) has the potential to accelerate the implementation of Green & Sustainable Chemistry based technologies & practices.

 

Since last 5 years, Green ChemisTree Foundation team has been working to consolidate organizations (private companies, start-ups, research & academic institutes, etc) offering Green & Sustainable Chemistry solutions and presenting the same in a structured format, through an online platform, such that it is accessible at one place, is easy to search, interactive, builds-on-its-own & facilitates connecting Industry with solution providers across the globe.

 

This “Green & Sustainable Chemistry Solution Provider’s Database” is a global database, which includes organizations offering both – solutions for “pollution prevention” as well as “end-of-the-pipe” solutions. This database would offer its services in following ways –

 

  • (a) Solution Seekers: If you are from Chemical Industry looking for solutions for your environmental challenges (then you are a “Solution Seekers”), you could search for innovative solutions, and
  • (b) Solution Providers: If you are an individual/organization developing & offering solution (then you a “Solution Provider”) to update about your existing technologies & upload your new innovations.

 

We really appreciate support and contribution from our sponsors which makes it possible for us to sustain the ongoing cost associated with managing this online platform & make it freely available for all.

 

We take this opportunity to acknowledge United Nations Industrial Development Corporation (UNIDO) and The Centre for Green Chemistry & Green Engineering at Yale for sharing their database with us which contributed to expanding this database.

 

We also acknowledge the team of AHY Consulting for their partnership in developing this online platform.

 

Our team is committed to continuously enhance the size, scope & quality of this database and user experience of this platform. We request participation and partnership from all stakeholders of chemical industry in this endeavor.
