4th Annual Public Lecture on Sustainable Innovation through Green Chemistry: from clean materials to business success!
Dr. Amy Cannon – Executive Director, Beyond Benign Foundation and recipient of the world’s first PhD in Green Chemistry from the University of Massachusetts
"Green Chemistry and Biomimicry: Towards More Sustainable Products through Inspiration from Nature and Innovation in the Laboratory"
The combination of green chemistry and biomimicry provides a platform for innovative problem solving by deriving inspiration from the natural world (biomimicry) and creating products in a sustainable manner (green chemistry). This talk will highlight several examples of how these two fields complement each other to create new, innovative green chemistry technological solutions to global problems.
