GC3 Releases Blueprint for Using Green Chemistry to Advance a Circular Economy

LOWELL, Mass., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Green Chemistry & Commerce Council (GC3) released a report designed to help companies throughout the industrial value chain harness the power of green chemistry to meet the growing need for a more sustainable economy. The report is titled…

LOWELL, Mass., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Green Chemistry & Commerce Council (GC3) released a report designed to help companies throughout the industrial value chain harness the power of green chemistry to meet the growing need for a more sustainable economy. The report is titled «The GC3 Blueprint of Green Chemistry Opportunities for a Circular Economy.»

The concept of a circular economy, advanced in particular by the pioneering work of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. Because the inputs that go into such a system can remain useful for much longer, a circular economy would consume far fewer resources and produce far less waste. But significant technical challenges must be overcome to achieve this vision. To create a thriving economy within the limits of our planet, we must transform all the elements of the take-make-waste system: how we manage resources, how we make and use products, and what we do with the materials and products afterward.

The GC3 recognized that green chemistry offers a powerful tool to meet those redesign challenges. With support from the Forsythia Foundation, the GC3 analyzed ways in which green chemistry can support and amplify the goals outlined in the circular economy models. The result is a «Blueprint» that can help companies throughout the value chain as they make design, sourcing, and manufacturing decisions that co-optimize efforts to drive the circular economy and green and sustainable chemistry forward.

Sara Wingstrand, Programme Manager for the New Plastics Economy at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, remarks, «Green chemistry can play an important role in eliminating hazardous chemicals, a key part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s vision for a circular economy. We are delighted to see this report investigating the innovation opportunities on how green chemistry can support the transition to a circular economy for plastic, in which it never becomes waste or pollution.» 

The GC3 Blueprint serves as a foundational starting point, intended to evolve based on feedback and stakeholder engagement. In 2021, GC3 will host a new value chain forum to explore and elevate the critical role each field can play in enabling the objectives of the other to accelerate the commercialization of safer, sustainable solutions across sectors and value chains.

ABOUT THE GC3

Started in 2005, the Green Chemistry & Commerce Council (GC3) is a business-to-business collaborative that drives the commercial adoption of green chemistry by catalyzing and guiding action across all industries, sectors and supply chains. Over 125 organizations are members of the GC3.

ABOUT THE ELLEN MACARTHUR FOUNDATION

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a UK-based charity, committed to the creation of a circular economy that tackles some of the biggest challenges of our time, such as waste, pollution, and climate change. A circular economy designs out waste and pollution, keeps products and materials in use, and regenerates natural systems, creating benefits for society, the environment, and the economy. 

The Foundation collaborates with: its Strategic Partners (BlackRock, Danone, DS Smith, Google, H&M Group, Intesa Sanpaolo, IKEA, Philips, Renault, SC Johnson, Solvay, Unilever, The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Fund for Strategic Innovation, SUN, MAVA, players of People’s Postcode Lottery (GB) and its wider network of businesses; governments, institutions, and cities; designers; universities; and emerging innovators to drive collaboration, explore opportunities, and develop circular business initiatives.

The top 500 list is determined by weighing companies’ patent capabilities in terms of these five indicators.

As an intangible asset, patents not only have great commercial value for enterprises, but are also important for competitiveness.

Innovation is an important way for companies to conquer the market, and patent protection is the «moat» for brand building. The 2020 China Top 500 Companies for Patents aims to set a benchmark for innovation and guide Chinese companies to enhance their intellectual property protection awareness and ability. Through unremitting innovation and creation, 3TREES has made technological innovation the core competitiveness of its sustainable development. In the future, 3TREES will keep its cultural confidence, adhere to its strategy, see the big picture, seize opportunities, innovate, grow, and create more and better products and services, making homes healthier, cities more beautiful, and life better.

ABU DHABI, EAU, 4 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — El Zayed Award for Human Fraternity ha revelado hoy oficialmente que el secretario general de la ONU, Antonio Guterres, y la activista marroquí-francesa, Latifa Ibn Ziaten, son los dos galardonados de su premio 2021.

Organizado a través de una ceremonia virtual, anclada en torno al escenario del Founder’s Memorial, en Abu Dabi, la ceremonia de premios anual inaugural del Zayed Award for Human Fraternity (ZAHF) se transmitirá desde su propio sitio web para que los espectadores lo vean, el jueves por la tarde a las 5:30pm GST.

Nacido de la firma del Documento sobre la Fraternidad Humana (DHF), en Abu Dabi, en 2019, y alineado con los valores humanitarios compartidos por el fundador de los EAU, el difunto Sheikh Zayed, este premio global reconoce a las personas que están comprometidas a fomentar las condiciones de convivencia pacífica.

En reconocimiento a ese encuentro histórico, los galardonados honoríficos del primer Zayed Award for Human Fraternity fueron los cofirmantes del Documento: Su Eminencia el Gran Imam de Al-Azhar, el Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, y el Jefe de la Iglesia Católica, Su Santidad el Papa Francisco.

Como Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas, desde 2017, António Guterres ha emprendido un mandato específico para abordar cuestiones relacionadas con la paz y la seguridad mundiales. Entre algunas de las iniciativas clave que ha encabezado, durante su tiempo en el cargo, Guterres ha abordado una serie de iniciativas impactantes, entre ellas: la lucha contra el discurso del odio y la violencia; modernizar las prácticas de mantenimiento de la paz de las Naciones Unidas; su Iniciativa y Apelación al Alto el Fuego Global durante la pandemia de Covid-19, lo que resulta en 170 estados miembros y observadores que hacen caso a ese llamamiento para inscribirse.

Latifa Ibn Ziaten, galardonada en 2021, es una madre y activista marroquí-francesa, dedicada a crear conciencia contra la escalada del extremismo religioso, tras su propia tragedia personal de perder a su hijo, Imad, en un ataque terrorista, en 2012. Desde entonces, Latifa se ha convertido en una conocida activista de la sociedad civil, en Francia y más allá; trabajando con las familias y las comunidades para prevenir la radicalización de los jóvenes y difundir el mensaje de paz, diálogo y respeto mutuo. 

Antes de recibir su premio el jueves, Guterres dijo: «Es con humildad y profunda gratitud que me siento honrado de recibir el Zayed Award for Human Fraternity. Lo veo también como un reconocimiento al trabajo que Naciones Unidas está haciendo todos los días, en todas partes, para promover la paz y la dignidad humana.

«Vivimos en tiempos difíciles. Vemos las amenazas provenientes de la pandemia, del clima, las amenazas de la guerra y los conflictos en diferentes partes del mundo. Por lo tanto, es fantástico ver el enorme liderazgo de Su Santidad el Papa y Su Eminencia el Gran Imam de Al-Azhar, empujando a la humanidad a unirse, en unidad, en diálogo, para promover la paz, para promover la fraternidad, y para promover la unidad que es necesaria para abordar todos los desafíos para derrotar el odio y asegurar que la solidaridad humana gane las batallas a las que nos  estamos enfrentando.»

Al aceptar su premio, Latifa dijo: «Es un gran honor, y de hecho gratificante, haber sido reconocida por el Zayed Award for Human Fraternity por el trabajo que yo y muchos otros hacemos, cada día, al abordar el extremismo a través del diálogo, el respeto mutuo y la convivencia pacífica. Lo más importante es que espero que este premio ayude a sensibilizar a un público más amplio sobre la necesidad de continuar estos esfuerzos.

«La situación en Francia y Europa ha presentado a menudo muchos desafíos debido a una sensación de exclusión y marginación que afecta a tantos corazones jóvenes. Dicho esto, creo que se están haciendo progresos, y seguimos trabajando con las familias y las comunidades para prevenir la radicalización de los jóvenes y comprender cómo podemos crear oportunidades para un diálogo y una promoción más abiertos; haciendo de la cooperación y la comprensión mutua la norma – no la excepción,» concluyó Latifa.

En su intervención antes de la ceremonia del jueves, el Secretario General del Comité Superior para la Fraternidad Humana (HCHF) y coautor del Documento sobre la Fraternidad Humana, el juez Mohamed Abdelsalam, dijo:

«Como director de las Naciones Unidas, Guterres ha sido responsable de poner en marcha muchas iniciativas individuales y conjuntas encaminadas a poner fin a la violencia de la humanidad contra sí misma y a las violaciones contra la naturaleza. Su compromiso y dedicación en este papel ha demostrado que es un verdadero patrocinador del enfoque y los valores defendidos por el Documento sobre la Fraternidad Humana.

«Reconocer a Latifa Ibn Ziaten como galardonada de 2021, es una amarga y dulce comprensión de cómo las circunstancias nacidas de tal dolor grave y personal se han convertido en un tributo apropiado a su hijo, y a todas las demás víctimas de la violencia terrorista. La gran labor de Latifa en la defensa de los valores de la fraternidad humana como una forma de poner fin a la violencia es verdaderamente inspiradora.

«Este premio independiente y global fue concebido para alentar y reconocer a aquellos que nos inspiran a todos a desempeñar nuestro papel en la creación de un mundo más comprensivo, inclusivo y pacífico. Al examinar el trabajo y el impacto de ambos homenajeados de 2021, está claro que ambos son modelos a seguir por la próxima generación, los líderes mundiales y todos aquellos que se dedican a actividades igualmente nobles por la paz,» continuó.

«Premiar a Guterres y Latifa con el Zayed Award for Human Fraternity en su primera edición después de que el Gran Imam y el Papa Francisco fueran galardonados, en 2019, es un homenaje a todos aquellos que aman la paz y una invitación a la humanidad para continuar en este camino,» añadió Abdelsalam.

«El Comité Superior de Fraternidad Humana continuará sus esfuerzos para alcanzar los objetivos del Documento sobre la Fraternidad Humana, con el sincero apoyo y cuidado de SE Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, patrón de la fraternidad humana que patrocina el comité y sus proyectos, y está dispuesto a asegurar que el premio continúe en su camino para lograr la fraternidad humana con total independencia e imparcialidad, y esto indica la sinceridad del mensaje y la grandeza de la meta,» concluyó.

Para ver a los dos galardonados recibir su premio de Su Santidad el Papa Francisco y Su Eminencia el Gran Imam de Al-Azhar, el Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, los espectadores pueden ir a www.zayedaward.org. La transmisión de 30 minutos se transmitirá de 17:30-18:00 GST/13:30-14:00 GMT/08:30-09:00 EST, jueves por la noche.

La ceremonia de entrega de premios del 4 de febrero también coincide con el primer Día Internacional de la Fraternidad Humana, que fue aprobado por una resolución de la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, en diciembre de 2020. Esta fecha es ahora un día oficial dedicado a sensibilizar y reconocer los esfuerzos de quienes promueven la paz, la armonía y el diálogo intercultural en todo el mundo. La fecha fue elegida para coincidir con la firma en 2019 del Documento sobre la Fraternidad Humana.

El premio de este año es la primera vez que los nominados de todo el mundo podrían ser presentados para ser evaluados por un comité de jueces independiente, formado por el Comité Superior para la Fraternidad Humana (HCHF) y compuesto por expertos internacionales.

El Comité de Jueces de 2021 para el Zayed Award for Human Fraternity de este año fue:

  • Juez Mohamed Abdelsalam, secretario general de HCHF
  • Adama Dieng, ex asesor especial de las Naciones Unidas para la prevención del genocidio
  • Rt. Hon. Michaelle Jean, 27 gobernador general y comandante en jefe de Canadá
  • S.E. Muhammad Jusuf Kalla, ex vicepresidente de la República de Indonesia
  • Cardenal Dominique Mamberti, Prefecto del Tribunal Supremo de la Signatura Apostólica.
  • S.E. Catherine Samba-Panza, ex presidenta de la República Centroafricana
