Green Chemistry and Sustainability From waste to wealth James Clark Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence University of York, UK www. greenchemistry. net
Benefits of the Chemical Industry
Yet everybody hates chemicals! Pressures on the Chemical Industry Across the Lifecycle www. greenchemistry. net
We are running out of key elements Elemental unsustainability www. greenchemistry. net
Location of Scarce Elements And who owns the mineral rights to those that are left? 5 www. greenchemistry. net
So much ends up in waste www. greenchemistry. net
What do we do with our waste? What a waste!! www. greenchemistry. net
Waste is tomorrows resource We need to encourage the greater use of chemically rich waste as a resource www. greenchemistry. net
…Food waste is everywhere too ! • 90 Mt of food waste generated every year in the E. U. 27 (incl. industrial and household waste) • or 179 kg per capita • in the UK, over 90% of the 5. 7 Mt of commercial and industrial FW is discarded to landfill www. greenchemistry. net
A world of possibilities… Agro-residues 46 Mt/y Unripe coconut husks 5 Mt/y Orange peels 12 Mt/y Spent coffee grounds 3 Mt/y 1 Mt/y of food waste Palm oil waste 15. 8 Mt/y 30 Mt/y of Agro-residues 382 t/y coffee husks Cassava starch 228 Mt/y www. greenchemistry. net
Chemicals from food waste Visit our exhibition! films bio-adhesives sugars hydrophobes phenols Liquid fuels solid fuels starch pectin Food supply chain residues nanocomposites collagen cellulose chitosan hemicellulose lignin natural dyes natural chelants PVC replacements hydrogels chemical monomers waxes cosmetic waxes bio-surfactants bio-solvents www. greenchemistry. net
Selection Criteria • volumes available in one location • chemical potential • occurrence in different countries • local Network contacts • relevance for green chemical technologies www. greenchemistry. net
Sustainable sources of Carbon Over 90% of organic chemicals are based on petroleum feedstocks - this is not sustainable www. greenchemistry. net
Petroleum Refinery Fuels Solvent Bulk chemicals Plastics Petroleum feedstock Fibres Fine chemicals Oils www. greenchemistry. net
Bio-refinery Fuels Solvent Plastics Biomass Bulk chemicals Fine chemicals Fibres Oils Don’t use food quality feedstocks!! www. greenchemistry. net
It’s not just about how safe the product is…. Or how clean the manufacturing is……. . Or how sustainable the feedstocks are We need to introduce Green Chemistry concepts and practices across the supply chain(s) www. greenchemistry. net
Valorising food waste makes your raw material double green The chemical industry is too dependent on traditional virgin sources of raw materials - sources that are becoming scarce, expensive and unreliable, and often from regions with uncertain social and political conditions Why don’t we even make it triple green? www. greenchemistry. net
What is Green Chemistry? Sustainable Development and Business Energy cost waste Non-renewables REDUCE ECONOMIC water risk ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL SD www. greenchemistry. net

Making use of food wastes…. . Switchable adhesives for carpet tiles (Interface. Flor) Recyclable Diverting millions of Kg pa from landfill www. greenchemistry. net
More uses for food waste and for ashes…. . Bio-silicates (B&Q) Bio-based composite materials for structural and furniture applications Future construction materials based on 100% green and sustainable components www. greenchemistry. net
Making your process greener Chemical manufacturing is largely based on chemistry that is complex, energy- , solvent-, and water-intensive and produces a lot of CO 2 and considerably more (often hazardous) waste than product www. greenchemistry. net
Using plant extracts…. Eco-waxes Charles Jackson Farms - Botanix - Croda - L’Oreal - Processum Cosmetic Products Semiochemicals (Rothamsted) Wheat straw Sc. CO 2 extraction Wax products Health Products “Natural” products are very desirable…they need to be: - derived from natural resources - extracted using “natural” solvents (H 2 O, Et. OH, CO 2) - modified only be “natural” methods (biocatalysis) www. greenchemistry. net
Microwave activation of biomass development of an alternative method of decomposing biomass www. greenchemistry. net
