- 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!
