Dr. Anastas is widely known as the “Father of Green Chemistry”, and has an extensive record of leadership in government, academia, and industry relating to sustainability goals, initiatives, and implementation.
"It's no coincidence that the leaders in business are also the leaders in sustainability thinking," Anastas says. "The businesses that thrive, grow, and endure, will be those that best incorporate and operationalize sustainability principles into their core business,"
Topics of focus for Anastas and the ICOSSE’11 include:
Sustainable manufacturing
Water reuse and sustainable management
Natural resource management
Sustainable materials, processing and product design
Non-fossil transportation and power generation
Product life cycle assessment on reuses/recycle/remanufacturing.
