Join our unique training session “SAFE CHEMICALS FOR CONSUMER PRODUCTS: FROM PRINCIPLES TO PRACTICE “ where you’ll learn how to create chemicals that not only meet high quality standards but are also safe for people and the environment.
- Date: 01.10.2025
- Time:14-16.00
- Language: Ukrainian
- Platform: MS Teams
Why is this important? In today’s consumer goods market, chemical safety isn’t just a trend—it’s an urgent necessity. The health of consumers, environmental protection, strict legal regulations, and your brand’s competitiveness all depend on how responsibly you address this issue.
During the training, we will cover:
- Conceptual Foundations of “Green Chemistry”: You’ll learn to distinguish between a “less hazardous” chemical and a “truly safe” one. We’ll analyze real-world examples of the negative effects of substances like PFAS, phthalates, and Bisphenol-A, which are found in everyday products.
- Principles for Developing Safer Chemicals: We will focus on toxicological and environmental aspects that help reduce health risks and minimize environmental impact. You’ll learn to use the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool for making informed decisions.
- Practical Examples: We’ll demonstrate how these principles are applied in various fields: from household cleaners and cosmetics to packaging, textiles, and electronics.
- Challenges and Prospects: We will examine the main barriers to implementing safer chemicals, and we’ll discuss new trends such as bio-resources, green-by-design approaches, and digital tools.
- Practical Task: Participants will have the opportunity to solidify their knowledge by completing a practical task.
We’ll conclude the training with a final discussion and a Q&A session, where you can get detailed answers from an expert.
Join us and become a leader in safe innovation!

We are pleased to invite you to Green Chemistry Demo Day 2025 — the final event of Ukraine’s first Green Chemistry Accelerator. Over the course of three months, six Ukrainian startup teams have been working intensively to turn their ideas into tangible solutions for business and industry.
At the Demo Day, the startups will present innovations in green chemistry: from sustainable materials to novel production processes that reduce environmental impact. Participants will have the opportunity to discover promising technologies, connect directly with teams, explore partnership opportunities, and gain inspiration for their own sustainability initiatives.
The Green Chemistry Accelerator is part of the international project “Global Programme on Green Chemistry Innovation and Networks”, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by UNIDO in collaboration with the Yale Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering (USA), and carried out in Ukraine by the Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Centre.
Join us at Green Chemistry Demo Day and become part of building Ukraine’s innovation ecosystem!
Webinar “GREEN SOLVENTS: HOW TO CHOOSE AND IMPLEMENT IN PRACTICE.“
The Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Сentre in partnership with the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University (USA), invites you to participate in the webinar ”GREEN SOLVENTS: HOW TO CHOOSE AND IMPLEMENT IN PRACTICE“ as part of the UNIDO project ”Global Innovation and Networking Program in Green Chemistry” (GreenChem), funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
The webinar will discuss the risks associated with the use of various solvents and provide modern approaches to selecting safer alternatives, based on the principles of green chemistry.
Participants will learn how switching to green solvents helps reduce environmental damage, make the working environment safer, and optimize production costs.
Date: June 18, 2025
Time: 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Platform: online Teams
Language: Ukrainian
Participation is free of charge.
