Come and see this public lecture!

Tuesday 23 November, 2010, The Chemistry Centre, London
Speaker: Mike Pitts, CiKTN

This lecture will highlight one of the priority areas in the RSC Roadmap: Sustainable Product Design. It will look at how the entire life cycle of products – from design through to disposal – can be assessed to help preserve resources. Mike Pitt’s talk will be stressing the scale of the sustainability challenge, while highlighting how it should be viewed as an opportunity by chemistry-using companies.
