THE GREEN CHEMISTRY INSTITUTE SPANISH CHAPTER
IUCT acts as the Green Chemistry Institute (USA) chapter in Spain from 1999. The Green Chemistry Institute (GCI) is a non-profit organization to promote Green Chemistry through Research, Education, Information Dissemination, Conferences and Symposia. GCI works across disciplines and academic, government and industry sectors to promote the development and implementation of science and technology to avoid the generation and production of hazardous wastes.
IUCT believes that it is better to prevent the entry of chemical substances into the environment than to address their known and unknown consequences at a later date. The alliance between companies, government and the Green Chemistry Institute affords an opportunity to reaffirm and extend the importance of green chemistry in pollution prevention.
GCI spanish members are drawn from government, industry and academia to reflect a broad set of environmental interests and capabilities. GCI activities strive to discover, develop and deploy quantifiable new science and technology alternatives to existing chemical practice and achieve measurable declines in damage to human health and the environment.
