India, like the rest of the world, has a huge responsibility to tackle pollution and waste. Although the enactments are in place, we are still experiencing the consequences of pollution. We are not there to a place we can call as ‘zero pollution’. We are yet to manage our waste like nature does and to learn to be as efficient as it is. The people should be educated about the problems and be provided with the tools to address it. Awareness is the first step towards resolving a problem. It is then followed by asking the right questions. If Newton hadn’t wondered why the apple fell from the tree, the world could have been very different now, it may not even have aero planes for us to fly on. With the right questions, one has to experiment, experiments leads to results. To see if the results are in our favor, one has to observe. One then needs to communicate, big problems need many hands. Brainstorming around the problem and then back to asking questions. This cycle, this churning will give rise to vital information and knowledge that will help us to create solutions.
This cycle is not just limited to laboratories but it requires a team effort of people from diverse backgrounds: chemists, chemical engineers, environment specialists, ecologists, entrepreneurs, government bodies, universities etc. This means it needs a common ground for all of them to communicate, share, talk, brainstorm ideas and come to a resolution of common issues. This is what Industrial Green Chemistry World (IGCW) does. It is an incubator for new ideas to emerge, an ecosystem for creating value for chemical companies by providing and seeking relevant services, technologies, expertise & solutions. It is like a pump that throws all the brainstorming, all the conversations towards the direction of prioritizing sustainability and environmental safety, driving implementation of green chemistry and green engineering. This is where the knowledge providers meet the knowledge seekers.
IGCW EXPO : platform for commercial expansion of GC&E based technologies
IGCW-2013 Expo is just one aspect of it. The 3rd IGCW-EXPO will bring together around 50 solutions and technology providers from all over the globe to partner with you in resolving your- immediate, short-term, mid-term or long term industrial green chemistry and engineering based requirements.
50 solutions would mean 50 stalls in the exhibition space. If we have to do some number crunching, we could deduce the following, which of course has no upper or lower limits to it. Let’s start with the assumption that a single stall can have 6 meaningful conversations for the period of 6 hours. Over the length of 3 days, it would mean 18 total meaningful conversations. Multiply that with 50 and you have 900 meaningful conversations. At IGCW, we value quality and hence it doesn’t harbor more than 50 stalls, so that anyone who attends it takes away something that would make a change, which would help resolve the environmental issues.
IGCW will cover a myriad of areas like green processes. Among all, Newreka Green Synth Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has the “Recycle @ SourceTM Solution to present. Recycle@SourceTM is a simple method to recycle all the effluent streams of process back to its source without contaminating or degrading product quality. Other areas include green solvents, green catalysts, green engineering, green services, green publications, green measurements.
