Green Chemistry
& Digitalization
DUDE CHEM takes its name after the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry with the Latin numeral duodecim.
"Green chemistry is the utilization of a set of 12 principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products."
Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998
We believe that the 12 principles of green chemistry and digitalisation are integral tools for the implementation of sustainable production processes. These are the pillars our business is built on.
In combination with the newest technology in the fields of computational chemistry and digitalization, our market-validated IP portfolio and green chemistry expertise can be applied to reuse expensive resources, fast-track synthesis design and upscaling, as well as monitor and control chemical production processes to ensure the highest quality and efficiency.
DUDE CHEM strives to reflect our values and vision of sustainability not only in our products, but also in our daily operations; We are passionate about doing our part for the environment, our society and for our futures. We have started our journey to become the world leader in the supply of greener manufactured chemicals, e.g. starting materials or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
