The EPA announced on Monday, Nov. 23, 2009, that it is now accepting
nominations for the 15th annual Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards.
The awards recognize innovative chemical technologies that incorporate green
chemistry into the design, manufacture, and use of chemicals, and that have
broad applications in industry.
For the challenge, nominated technologies should reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances from a chemical product or process. Any individual, group or nongovernmental organization, both nonprofit and for-profit, including academia and industry, may nominate a green chemistry technology for the awards. Self-nominations are welcome, the agency said.
Awards are made each year in five categories: Greener Synthetic Pathways, Greener Reaction Conditions, Designing Greener Chemicals, Small Business, and Academic. Each nominated technology must have reached a significant milestone within the past five years in the United States. Nominations must be submitted no later than Dec. 31 to be eligible for the 2010 awards, which will be presented in June 2010.
