Members of the Beyond Benign team and community are heading to ACS Fall 2026 in Chicago and online! 🧪

Celebrating the American Chemical Society's 150th anniversary with the theme “Chemists Making History,” this year’s meeting will bring chemistry professionals together to share research, strengthen connections, and consider the future of chemical sciences.

Throughout the week, our team and community will contribute to programming on product design, professional development, undergraduate teaching, lab sustainability, cosmetic chemistry, and community approaches to industrial legacies.

Add our sessions to your agenda and connect with us from August 23rd to 27th: https://buff.ly/vkZd53Z

The Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) community is now made up of 300 higher education institutions across the globe! 🎉

This milestone reflects the growing movement to make a core part of chemistry education, preparing students to design safer, more sustainable solutions through the science they learn and practice.

Each GCC signing institution brings its own context, goals, and expertise while contributing to a shared commitment to transform chemistry education. Thank you to every signer, educator, student, and partner helping move green chemistry forward. 💚 🌍

We are excited to welcome Université de Carthage to the Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC)! 🌱

Located in Tunis, Tunisia, the Higher Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technologies (ISSTE) of Borj Cedria is dedicated to environmental education, sustainability, and the development of greener technological solutions.

Through its Green Chemistry Bachelor and Chemistry Master of Science programs, ISSTE connects to coursework, laboratory practice, and research. Students engage with green chemistry in general, organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry, as well as toxicology, environmental chemistry, SMART monitoring technologies, and faculty and student research.

As a GCC signer, ISSTE is working to green its teaching laboratories, develop circular economy and waste valorization initiatives, and strengthen collaborative research on water treatment and resource valorization. 👏

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, 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 education, research, and policy in diverse local contexts while building transferable models for safer, more sustainable chemistry.

Your idea could become a resource that teaches, inspires, and travels around the world. 🎉🌍

We’re partnering with the International Young Chemists Network (IYCN) to launch the Green Chemistry & Sustainability Infographics Competition, a global opportunity to share green and sustainable chemistry through creative science communication. Want to join the fun?

Bring a green or sustainable chemistry concept to life in an infographic that helps others understand real-world challenges, safer solutions, and the role chemistry can play in building a more sustainable future.

The competition includes categories for (1) elementary and middle school students, (2) high school students, (3) postsecondary students and early career researchers, and (4) open community participants. Top submissions can win prizes, publication in the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community ( ) peer-reviewed library, and a DOI. 💡

👉 Start planning now and get ready to submit your infographic during this October. Find all the details here: https://buff.ly/EVVzbHP
