Learn How to Create a Substitution Plan

This course will introduce you to the principles of Green Chemistry and solutions for sustainable chemicals management.

The financial, environmental and social benefits for businesses that undertake sustainable chemicals management will be explained. You will learn about sustainability tools, such as life cycle assessment, that will help you determine the best approach in assessing substances, products and processes with the goal of improving product sustainability. The concept of chemical substitution under EU REACH, BPR and PPP will be discussed and you will gain practical knowledge on the regulatory processes for substitution. Our expert will guide you through the steps for alternatives assessment with the aim of identifying and comparing potential substitutes for harmful chemicals.
