Green chemistry is growing across Latin America through regional leadership, shared resources, and global collaboration. 🌎 A new peer-reviewed manuscript in RSC Sustainability, led by Senior Program Manager Dr. Juliana Vidal, Dr. Humberto Milagre, and Dr. Flavia Zacconi shares insights from Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) signers across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico. The article highlights how higher education institutions are advancing #GreenChemistry education, research, and policy in diverse local contexts while building transferable models for safer, more sustainable chemistry. 🔖 Read the open-access article here: https://buff.ly/qrSpRtB #GCCommit #GreenChemistryEducation #SustainableScience #RSCSustainability Royal Society of Chemistry

🌱 Green Chemistry Friday | Week 13 This week, something a little different caught my attention: 25 years of Green Chemistry at Pfizer. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into an approach that is now integrated into drug development and manufacturing. What I really like about this story is that it shows what can happen when Green Chemistry becomes part of an organization’s culture, not just a single project. Over the years, Pfizer ’s Green Chemistry team has worked on: Greener pharmaceutical synthesis, finding more efficient ways to make medicines. Better solvent choices, reducing hazardous solvents and unnecessary waste. Sustainability metrics, helping scientists make better process decisions. New technologies, exploring approaches such as electrochemistry. Collaboration, sharing knowledge across teams and the wider Green Chemistry community. I also loved seeing Paul Richardson celebrate the publication with a simple comment: “Fantastic to see this published and bang on time for 25 years :) !!” There’s something special about that comment. Behind 25 years of progress are real scientists, collaborations, experiments, challenges, and people who continued pushing for change. 👏 Congratulations to David F. Fernández , Juan Colberg , Paul Richardson , Chris Allais , María González Esguevillas, and everyone who has contributed to Pfizer ’s Green Chemistry journey. And a special thank you to American Chemical Society (ACS), ACS Green Chemistry Institute(r), and Sustainability #RSCSustainability for continuing to support and grow the Green Chemistry community. 📖 This week’s story: Pfizer’s green chemistry team turns 25 Read the Chemistry World story 📚 Read the team’s perspective: Sustainable chemistry in pharma: Pfizer green chemistry team’s perspective Read the RSC Sustainability paper https://lnkd.in/eWCXtHXc 💬 Discussion question: What does it take for Green Chemistry to move from a good idea to becoming part of an organization’s culture? 🌱 Thank you for following along with Green Chemistry Friday. I’ll be back next week with another story highlighting the people and innovations shaping a more sustainable future through chemistry. I am always open for suggestions. #GreenChemistryFriday #GreenChemistry #SustainableChemistry #Sustainability #GreenPharma #PharmaceuticalChemistry #ProcessChemistry #Innovation #ACS #ACSGCI #RSCSustainability #ChemistryForGood
