Beyond Benign Inc

Higher Education is a program developed to increase the adoption of green chemistry in higher education institutions. The Organization facilitates a consortium program of college and university chemistry departments and hosts working groups for the faculty to engage in collaboration to advance green chemistry. Work includes development of resources that fill resource gaps, training faculty on tools and techniques for adopting greener chemistry, and hosting conferences and seminars for sharing best practices in higher education. All developed resources are placed on-line for educators to download free of charge.

The organization developed an online community space (the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community) for the green chemistry education community to share resources, connect with each other and collaborate. The platform was launched in October of 2023 and features a resource clearinghouse for green chemistry resources, coupled with networking and collaboration tools to grow capacity for educators to integrate green chemistry in their teaching and practice.
