Amman, January 7 (Petra) — The Royal Scientific Society (RSS) signed a Statement of Cooperation (SoC) with the Centre for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University to strengthen collaboration in green chemistry.

According to a statement, Rafat Assi, Vice President of RSS, and Professor Paul Anastas, the founder of green chemistry and Director of the Centre for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering, signed the SoC.

The SoC focuses on joint projects in green chemistry and environmental sustainability, including chemical safety, using recycled raw materials in chemical processes and promoting biodegradable products.

It facilitates researcher exchanges between the two institutions, according to the statement.

The SoC includes spreading green chemistry principles and applications across the region through conferences, meetings and collaborative projects.
The signing was part of a scientific event organised by RSS on green chemistry and its role in industrial development.

The event featured a seminar about green chemistry principles delivered by Professor Anastas and attended by former ministers, university presidents and specialists in chemistry and chemical industries.
This event is part of the Green Chemistry Project, implemented by RSS in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Yale University, and UNIDO, with support from the Global Environment Facility.

The project aims to promote green transition in Jordan’s industrial sector by supporting green chemistry entrepreneurship and replacing hazardous chemicals with safer and sustainable alternatives to boost the value of the Jordanian industry.

The efforts align with Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision and aim to enhance the competitiveness of the Jordanian industry.
