September	September	1 14:00 -16:00 01.10.2025 https://www.recpc.org/event/training-greenchem-01-10-2025-en/ 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! Organizers The RECP Centre (Ukraine) in collaboration with the Center for Green Chemistry & Green Engineering at Yale University, under the GEF-funded UNIDO project, The Global GreenChem Innovation and Network Programme.	2	3	4	5

Success stories

The outdated heating system in our college was upgraded thanks to an energy audit conducted by RECP Centre experts. The installation of an individual heating substation with weather-dependent regulation effectively solved the issue, reducing heating costs by 50%.

If the plant started using its designed capacity, the aluminum waste would have doubled. That fact worked as a driver and we started to use aluminum alloys as RECPC experts suggested in their technical options. We hope for further fruitful cooperation with the RECP Centre...

Currently consuming 80 kW of electricity per hour, we hope to achieve a twofold reduction in power consumption through the implemented solution. I sincerely wish the RECP Centre experts continued inspiration and the freedom to generate new ideas and innovative solutions.

Today it is not only fashionable to sew and wear a coat to be the recent vogue, but it is also fashionable to be energy efficient and not impacting the environment. Now we prefer those fabrics that are easily recyclable after use, and we sell the scraps for sewing doll clothes.
