SRM University AP
SRM University, AP is committed to integrating the principles of green chemistry and sustainability into chemistry education, research, and laboratory practices. The Department of Chemistry incorporates concepts such as the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, waste minimization, safer chemicals and solvents, energy efficiency, catalysis, renewable resources, pollution prevention, and sustainable materials into relevant undergraduate and postgraduate courses and research activities. Our faculty and students are also actively involved in research related to sustainable catalysis, environmental remediation, waste valorization, renewable materials, and cleaner chemical processes. Through the Green Chemistry Commitment, we aim to further strengthen green chemistry education across our curriculum, promote safer and more sustainable laboratory practices, and prepare students to apply sustainability principles in their future academic and professional careers.

Our short-term goal is to systematically integrate the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry into relevant undergraduate and postgraduate chemistry courses and laboratory experiments, with greater emphasis on safer reagents and solvents, waste minimization, energy efficiency, catalysis, and pollution prevention. We also aim to increase student awareness through seminars, workshops, research projects, and sustainability-focused laboratory practices.
Our long-term goals include developing a dedicated Green Chemistry and Sustainability course, redesigning selected teaching laboratories using greener experimental protocols, incorporating green metrics and life-cycle thinking into chemistry education, and expanding interdisciplinary research in sustainable catalysis, waste valorization, environmental remediation, renewable materials, and cleaner chemical processes. We also aim to build collaborations with academic and industrial partners and develop SRM University, AP as an active contributor to green chemistry education and research in India.
