Issue 1 of Green Chemistry is now available to read online.

This year we celebrate our milestone of 15 years of publication, and in issue 1 you can read an Editorial from all of Green Chemistry’s Chairs of the Editorial board and Scientific Editors marking the occasion.

We have also put together a special web collection, with contributions from authors who have had highly cited articles from each of the past 15 years : 15 Years of Green Chemistry

The front cover this month (pictured left) features work by Brian Davison and co-workers. In their work they investigate the mechanism of biomass breakdown. Understanding this process should lead to more efficient use of biomass.
