ACRES Model

Superfund is a program administered by the EPA to locate, investigate, and clean up the worst hazardous waste sites throughout the United States.

SEMS Model

Superfund is a program administered by the EPA to locate, investigate, and clean up the worst hazardous waste sites throughout the United States.

RCRAInfo Model

Hazardous waste information is contained in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information (RCRAInfo), a national program management and inventory system about hazardous waste handlers.

BR Model

The Biennial Report collects data on the generation of hazardous waste from large quantity generators and data on waste management practices from treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2011 Academic Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2011 award winner, Professor Bruce H. Lipshutz, designed a novel, second-generation surfactant called TPGS-750-M. It is a "designer" surfactant composed of safe, inexpensive ingredients.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2011 Small Business Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2011 award winner, BioAmber, developed an integrated technology to produce large, commercial quantities of succinic acid by bacterial fermentation, replacing petroleum-based feedstocks.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2011 Greener Synthetic Pathways Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2011 award winner, Genomatica, is developing and commercializing sustainable basic and intermediate chemicals made from renewable feedstocks including sugars, biomass, and syngas.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2005 Academic Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2005 award winner, Professor Robin D. Rogers, used ionic liquids to dissolve and process cellulose from wood, cloth, or paper to make new biorenewable or biocompatible materials.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2006 Designing Greener Chemicals Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2006 award winner, S.C. Johnson & Son, developed Greenlist, a rating system for environmental and health effects of ingredients. SC Johnson uses it to reformulate many of its products.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2013 Greener Synthetic Pathways Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2013 award winner, Life Technologies, developed a one-pot synthesis for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is a much more efficient process that prevents about 1.5 million pounds of hazardous waste a year.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2014 Greener Reaction Conditions Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2014 award winner, QD Vision, Inc., makes higher quality quantum dots -- nanoscale LEDs – using an innovative greener process.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2012 Academic Award (Coates)

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2012 award winner, Professor Geoffrey W. Coates, developed a family of catalysts that use carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to make make polymers including polycarbonates.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2000 Academic Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2000 award winner, Professor Chi-Huey Wong, developed reactions with enzymes and safer solvents that can replace traditional reactions done with toxic metals and hazardous solvents.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge: 2014 Small Business Award

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge 2014 award winner, Amyris, engineered yeast to make a chemical called farnesene, which is a building block hydrocarbon that can be converted into a renewable, drop-in replacement for petroleum diesel.
