Here below are the links to various leading edge green chemistry institutes, partnerships, organizations, networks, and projects in the Great Lakes and beyond:

Green Centre Canada
GreenCentre Canada brings leading Green Chemistry researchers, international industry partners and commercialization expertise under one roof with a common goal of advancing Green Chemistry innovations out of the lab and into the marketplace. Working together, we transform breakthroughs in Green Chemistry into green products and industrial technologies that benefit the world.  

The Canadian Green Chemistry Network
The Canadian chapter of The Green Chemistry Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to promote green chemistry to protect human health and the environment.

Green Chemistry Center of Excellence at York University (UK)
The Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence at the University of York is a world leading research centre which aims to promote the development and implementation of green and sustainable chemistry and related technologies into new products and processes.

Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry
The Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry combines the expertise of talented and passionate scientists and engineers with the experience of an innovative and dynamic leadership team. We share a commitment to our clients, to society, and to the environment to create technologies and processes that are functional, cost-effective, and environmentally benign.

American Chemistry Society Green Chemistry Institute
The mission of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute® (ACS GCI) is to enable and catalyze the implementation of green chemistry and green engineering into all aspects of the global chemical enterprise.

The Green Chemistry and Commerce Council
The Green Chemistry and Commerce Council (GC3) is a project of the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.  The GC3 was formed in 2005 following Sustainable Business and Safer Chemistry Through the Supply Chain: An the Innovators Roundtable hosted by the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production and the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. The GC3 provides an open forum for participants to discuss and share information and experiences relating to advancing green chemistry and design for environment as it pertains to sustainable supply chain management.

Investor Environmental Health Network
The Investor Environmental Health Network is a collaborative partnership of investment managers, advised by nongovernmental organizations, concerned about the financial and public health risks associated with corporate toxic chemicals policies. IEHN, through dialogue and shareholder resolutions, encourages companies to adopt policies to continually and systematically reduce and eliminate the toxic chemicals in their products. As of early 2008, IEHN members managed more than $41 billion in assets. IEHN staff are available to serve as information resources for companies.

The Business NGO Working Group
The BizNGO Working Group mission is to promote the creation and adoption of safer chemicals and sustainable materials in a way that supports market transitions to a healthy economy, healthy environment, and
healthy people.

Greener Education Materials For Chemists (GEMS)
GEMs is an interactive collection of chemistry education materials focused on green chemistry.  The database is designed as a comprehensive resource of education materials including laboratory exercises, lecture materials, course syllabi and multimedia content that illustrate chemical concepts important for green chemistry. Each entry includes a description of the item and is searchable by a variety of parameters, including chemistry concepts, laboratory techniques, green chemistry principles, and target audience. Database entries incorporate both published and unpublished materials.

Advancing Green Chemistry
Advancing Green Chemistry's mission is to promote the development and adoption of Green Chemistry. Green Chemistry is the scientific foundation of greener products, a sustainable economy, and healthier people. AGC’s role is to strengthen and promote the science and its practitioners, to link to strategic partners, and to highlight emerging strategic opportunities for stakeholders. In short, AGC seeks to tip the balance in favor of broad support for – and wide adoption of – Green Chemistry.

Clean Production Action
CPA’s unique role is to translate the systems-based vision of clean production into the tools and strategies NGOs, governments and businesses need to advance green chemicals, sustainable materials and environmentally preferable products. Critical to CPA’s success is working closely with existing networks across the globe, developing new partnerships, learning about emerging technological trends and associated environmental health problems, and developing and communicating essential solutions. It is this combination of collaboration, empowerment and advocacy for a clearly defined vision that is key to achieving the fundamental transformations necessary in our economy.

iSustain  - Green Chemistry Index
The iSUSTAIN™ Green Chemistry Index is a tool which provides a methodology to generate a sustainability-based score for chemical products and processes. It contains a set of sustainability metrics based on the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry* and takes into account such factors as waste generation, energy usage, health and environmental impact of raw materials and products, safety of processing steps, and others.

The Institute for Green Science
The Institute, led by Terry Collins, the Teresa Heinz Professor of Green Chemistry, has been established as a research, education and development center in which a holistic approach to green or sustainable chemistry is being developed, focused on pollution reduction. Research programs are evolving around the scientific and technological development of TAML® hydrogen peroxide activators, extensively patented and trademarked by Carnegie Mellon University.
