Research Group on Green Chemistry

Research Group on Green Chemistry
　
Activity
   The Research Group on Green Chemistry is a field heavily involved in the synthesis and recycling of polymeric materials, which play a part in the circular economy. Polymer materials have been faced with various challenges over time. To solve this problem, it is important to collaborate with experts in polymer material raw materials, synthesis, disposal, and recycling. Furthermore, it will be difficult to transition to a circular economy without mutual understanding and cooperation between industry, government, academia, and the public. It is necessary to revitalize such exchanges among various experts and organizations. 　This research group was established in 2002 as the predecessor of the research group on plastic recycling. Later, in 2009, due to the dissolution of the research group on polymer degradation and stabilization, some members were merged.
   The main activity will be a two-day symposium held around August. This symposium will be held jointly with the Research Association For Feedstock Recycling of Plastics Japan outside the academic society, and many researchers will gather to give oral and poster presentations. Additionally, around March, we will hold a tour to see related technologies and a lecture with experts as lecturers. 　We offer these activities to members who are interested in the synthesis and recycling of environmentally friendly polymer materials. We welcome the participation of researchers and engineers from companies, universities, and research institutions who are interested in this research group.
