Informex Getting Green

PRINCETON, N.J.—Informex will launch the GreenExchange at the InformexUSA event, set for Jan. 27 to 30, 2009, in San Francisco. The inaugural program will be tailored for chemical makers and allied trades that require economically viable, eco-friendly technologies geared toward greener reaction conditions, more efficient manufacturing processes and greater utilization of renewable raw materials in finished products. The GreenExchange program will include the Green Pavilion, a centrally located exhibitor space for innovator companies with unique technologies, processes and technical solutions related to the development and utilization of green chemistry.

Informex will also hold the GreenExchange Breakfast, in conjunction with co-sponsor ICIS Chemical Business, on Jan. 29. The breakfast will feature discussions by executives and research scientists that currently hold innovative green technology patents and policy solutions. Rounding out the GreenExchange at InformexUSA is a recognition program for general exhibitors that offer a diversity of technologies, with one or more dedicated to eco-friendly chemicals.
