Sustainable development is now accepted as a necessary goal forachieving societal, economic and environmental objectives. Withinthis chemistry has a vital role to play.
The chemical industry is successful but traditionally successhas come at a heavy cost to the environment. The challenge forchemists and others is to develop new products, processes andservices that achieve societal, economic and environmentalbenefits.
This requires an approach that reduces the materials and energyintensity of chemical processes and products; minimises thedispersion of harmful chemicals in the environment; maximises theuse of renewable resources and extends the durability andrecyclability of products in a way that increases industrialcompetitiveness as well as improve its tarnished image.
