IGCW-2009 is principally designed on the basis of a 9-Eye (I) Approach; each ‘eye’ of IGCW-2009 will expand the vision of participants for engaging them into emerging views of Industrial Green Chemistry paradigms. It will also create tangible and intangible benefits for all stakeholders. The three day workshop will concentrate on Green Chemist Professors, Scientists, Academicians, Researchers, Media Personnel, CEO’s, Directors, Entrepreneur’s etc.

All the three days will focus on their respective themes i.e. Day one theme is Ignition, Inspiration and Initiation means, the presentations on the first day will primarily target the corporate decision makers and senior executives from Industries fine chemical manufacturing companies including drugs and pharma, agrochemicals, dyes & pigments, fine & specialty chemicals. The objective of this theme is to recognize the significance of Industrial Green Chemistry amongst the decision makers. The content of the presentations will enable the audience to see its ecological and economical potential towards sustainability. The key speakers will be Prof. Paul Anastas, Prof. John Warner, & Prof. Bob Peoples. Specific case study presentations will be followed by awards felicitation with the objective of recognizing significant work in the field of Green Chemistry. So the main aim of the first day is to ignite what’s the role of Green Chemistry in the minds of the people so that they get inspired and set off to work for the betterment of our environment.

The Theme for the day two is Identification, Invention and Innovation. Here, the presentations will target the technical directors, process managers, production mangers, R&D managers, etc. The objective of this theme is to identify the key challenges, and view the various paradigms in the upcoming domain of Industrial Green Chemistry, providing significant input for identifying its application. Industrial case studies, paper presentations by institutes, scientists and researchers will be integrated as relevant to the theme. So after initiation, they will be able to identify what’s the urgent need for an hour and to innovate them.

Industrialization, Implementation and Impact is the theme for the third day. This is a very significant day. The presentations on the third day will be for senior executives as well as technical directors to share and put forth their queries for implementing green chemistry projects in their respective industry. The objective of this theme is to encompass specific requirements of industries for implementing Industrial Green Chemistry and thus implicating its overall impact. Apart from the Technical presentations, experts from Governmental bodies such as Pollution Control Board, Environmental Protection Agencies, Department of Science and Technology, etc., will provide an insight into the existing funding schemes and incentives for Industries to adopt Green Chemistry methodologies. There will be opportunity for companies to interact with key speakers on specific issues regarding implementation. Since all the changes to be made are in the hands of industrialists, so industrialists will play a key role in implementing the techniques to create a sustainable environment for all.

IGCW-2009 provides an apt platform for companies, organisations, corporate, institutes and similar bodies to communicate their Green, Clean, and Sustainable initiatives and commitments through exploring the possibilities. Through IGCW-2009 your “Green” services can stand out and get focused attention in the chemical industry globally.

Looking at IGCW-09 theme, you can visualize, how from the year 1950 to 2009, the colour of the environment was darkening over the course of the years i.e. environment was getting disturbed due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and industrial waste products etc which further led to global warming. But in the year 2009, there came a ray of hope, the sudden growth of flower from the bud, marks the birth or the beginning of the world’s largest Industrial Green Chemistry Workshop i.e. (IGCW – 09).

IGCW-09 is the new paradigm for the pharmacy and chemical industries to deliver products and services in benign ways. It also has potential to enhance the economical & environmental competitiveness of the chemical industry. This Workshop will be held every two years to make remarkable changes in the field of Green Chemistry. Further, attending this workshop, and implementing the principles of Green Chemistry our environment can be revived.

IGCW – 09 intends to set forth thoughts on how to enhance the practice of green chemistry through an action that is economically as well as ecologically effective. This workshop is based on 9 Eye (I) Approach each ‘eye’ will expand the vision of participants for engaging them into emerging views of Industrial Green Chemistry paradigms. It will also create tangible and intangible benefits for the stakeholders.

As you are reading this you may consider your participation in any capacity to explore the space of IGCW 2009 at Mumbai, India, for serving new possibilities in Industrial Green Chemistry. So, let’s join hands together and work for the betterment of our environment, so that our goal can be achieved. Please let us know how we can help to ensure more benefits for you from this workshop.
