IGCW 2023 State Pollution Control Boards, 7th November 2023, The Westin Mumbai Garden City, Mumbai. 

The IGCW 2023 will host the  5th Conference on Green Chemistry that is exclusively for the State Pollution Control Board (PCBs). This Conference is designed for the Member Secretaries, Chief Environmental Engineers & R&D Scientists of respective State Pollution Control Boards, with the objectives to: 

  • Share global environmental realities, changing regulatory landscape & introduce Green Chemistry as approach for Pollution Prevention at Source.
  • Bring together global best practices, frameworks, initiatives & models of environment regulatory bodies from other countries.
  • Hear from successful industrial case studies and introduce new innovative green chemistry/environmental solutions to officers.
  • Discuss challenges, gaps, mindset issues and suggest way forward for government/regulatory bodies.
  • Exchange success stories on implementing strategies and approaches towards prevention/minimization of chemical industry waste, and learn from each other’s experiences.
