Industrial Ecology and Green Chemistry
-
Professor Paul Anastas, a pioneer in the field of green chemistry, in recent months was named recipient of two major honors, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
-
Two decades after Paul Anastas introduced the 12 principles of green chemistry, a new review paper by Anastas and other Yale researchers documents the range of scientific research and innovation that have emerged from those principles.
-
The F&ES-based Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale has entered into a three-year global collaboration that will promote the principles and implementation of green chemistry in low- and middle-income countries.

In a new study, a Yale-led team of researchers found that GDP remains intrinsically linked with metal use even as affluence grows — a relationship that might threaten long-term global access to critical metals and hopes for a low-carbon future.
-
EcoPackables, which sells compostable mailers made from corn starch and PBAT, earned the Yale Center for Business and Environment’s (CBEY) Sabin Sustainable Venture Prize, as well as the first ever Yale Innovators’ Prize at Startup Yale 2021.
-
Even low-carbon energy technologies like solar cells and wind power plants have associated greenhouse gas emissions, but those impacts pale in comparison with the emissions prevented by the displacement of fossil fuel sources, a new study co-authored by a Yale researcher finds.
-
Marian Chertow, associate professor of industrial environmental management at F&ES, has received the International Society for Industrial Ecology’s Society Prize, awarded for “outstanding contributions to the field of industrial ecology.”
-
A new Yale study predicts that a transition to timber-based wood products in the construction of new housing, buildings, and infrastructure would not only offset enormous amounts of carbon emissions related to concrete and steel production — it could turn the world's cities into a vast carbon sink.
-
A new special issue of Yale’s Journal of Industrial Ecology presents the cutting-edge research on additive manufacturing, popularly known as 3D printing, providing important insights into its environmental, energy and health impacts.
