"It’s more important than ever for laboratories to be at the forefront of sustainability issues because labs consume significantly more energy and water and generate more waste than offices or households.

In this training, arm yourself with the knowledge and tools you need to make your lab greener, such as reducing consumption of resources and waste. Additionally, by adopting the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, you will not only create a safer work environment with less hazardous reagents, but also reduce your lab’s carbon footprint. With focus on practical examples from organic as well as analytical chemistry and beyond, gain insight on how to integrate sustainability practices throughout your workflows. Key learning objectives

  • Approaches to assess and reduce the environmental footprint of your lab
  • The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry and how to apply them in the lab
  • Helpful tools for sustainable chemistry

Frank Michel

Frank Michel received his diploma and PhD in Analytical Chemistry at University of Muenster/Germany. At Bernina Biosystems, a biopharmaceutical company, he developed and validated analytical HPLC and other methods for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), including excipients and drug products. Later Frank changed to Sigma-Aldrich and had various roles in Product Development, Marketing and Customer Education in Analytical Chemistry. After an engagement at HWI Analytik, an analytical service provider for the pharmaceutical industry, he returned in 2010 to Sigma-Aldrich (since Nov. 2015 part of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) as Scientific Advisor for Analytical Chemistry. During his career, Frank focused already on Green Analytical Chemistry, e.g. by miniaturization in HPLC for solvent savings and the solvent-free extraction technology SPME. Since 2022 he is responsible for sustainability and training in Chemistry.

 

Frank is a member of both the Sustainable Chemistry and the Separation Science working group in the German Chemist Society (GDCh), member of the IUPAC project team “Greenness of official standard sample preparation methods” and in the EuChemS-DAC Sample Preparation Study Group and Network.
