We Transform Chemistry

The International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) is an international centre promoting and developing Sustainable Chemistry solutions worldwide. Sustainable Chemistry is the single largest opportunity to transform the chemicals sector and move entire supply chains towards sustainable circular economy models, avoiding waste, hazardous chemicals, and making better use of natural resources. The emerging concept aims to establish a holistic approach, which promotes the use of environmentally and socially sustainable alternatives whilst also supporting economic innovation. In practice, this implies new business opportunities, new jobs, and a key contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As a globally acting centre, multi-stakeholder platform and think tank the ISC3 is committed to shape this transformation in cooperation with all stakeholders. Operating upon its key principles of collaboration, innovation, education, information and research, the ISC3 discusses new policies and fosters innovation initiatives to create new business models, especially in developing countries.

The ISC3 was established in May 2017 by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMU) as a contribution to the international transformation towards Sustainable Chemistry and is presently being hosted by the German Development Cooperation (GIZ). The ISC3 Headquarter is located in the UN-City of Bonn, Germany. The centre has established a Research Hub at Leuphana University, Lüneburg and an Innovation Hub at DECHEMA, Frankfurt a.M.
