Sustainable development is now accepted as a necessary goal for
achieving societal, economic and environmental objectives. Within
this chemistry has a vital role to play.
The chemical industry is successful but traditionally success
has come at a heavy cost to the environment. The challenge for
chemists and others is to develop new products, processes and
services that achieve societal, economic and environmental
benefits.
This requires an approach that reduces the materials and energy
intensity of chemical processes and products; minimises the
dispersion of harmful chemicals in the environment; maximises the
use of renewable resources and extends the durability and
recyclability of products in a way that increases industrial
competitiveness as well as improve its tarnished image.
