ERM are proud to attend #SETACEurope2024 which is addressing the theme of “Science based solutions in a time of crisis: Integrating Science and policy for environmental challenges”. At the event, we will host a seminar (Daniele Ruccia, Peter Shonfield, Valentina Ricottone, Ph.D., Apostolos Koutsaftis, Ricardo Petersen, Francisca Ribeiro, Mariana Rato, Tim Barber) talking about sustainability in chemical design, and the need for this thinking to be inherent in the chemical design process. As part of the EU Green Deal, there is progress towards some of the targets outlined by the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, and in particular the objective to minimise the use of the most toxic compounds in the market, but little progress on sustainability targets. This has been emphasized by the recent European Environment Agency dashboard, calling for more progress on circularity targets. Specifically talking about “Safe and Sustainable by Design – How to reconcile Safety and Sustainability Assessment in the Chemical Industry?” we wish to reiterate the importance of sustainable thinking in the EU chemical industry:
- Whilst green chemistry is part of the solution, it must be supported by green engineering.
- Highlight the impact of indirect effects in the supply chain and the need for this to be minimized.
- Sustainability should be at the heart of any design or re-design of a chemical process.
- A need for more action to promote the transition to the circular economy.
Whilst ERM recognize that the challenge is enormous and that work is underway to start to address these issues, we wish to emphasise the scale of the challenge and can support industry to establish the philosophy of Safe and Sustainable by Design.
If you wish to attend our seminar, please register at https://lnkd.in/d9ywXRHc
We are looking forward to meeting you on Wednesday, 8th May 2024, from 12:55 - 14:25, at the Video Conference Room (Floor 3, FIBES 2) at SETAC.
In addition to the seminar, at SETAC the ERM team will be happy to meet you at our booth 230.
