The American Chemical Society (ACS), in partnership with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has announced the call for nominations for the 2023 Green Chemistry Challenge Awards to recognize businesses, individuals, academic institutions and non-profits for innovative green chemistry solutions and products.
Applications are due to EPA by December 9, 2022. A webinar will be held on September 28, 2022, at 2 p.m. ET to educate stakeholders on the Green Chemistry Challenge Awards and the nomination process. Register here for the webinar.
The ACS Green Chemistry Institute will convene an independent panel of technical experts to formally judge the nominations and make recommendations to EPA for the 2023 winners.
Since the inception of the awards program more than 25 years ago, EPA has received more than 1,800 nominations and presented awards for 133 technologies that decrease hazardous chemicals and use of resources, reduce costs and protect human health. Winning technologies are responsible for annually reducing the use or generation of hundreds of millions of pounds of hazardous chemicals, saving billions of gallons of water and eliminating billions of pounds of carbon dioxide equivalents.
