Universal Philosophy that aims to develop industrial procedures that have minimal environmental impact and use chemistry to help prevent pollution.

12 Principles Prevent waste: preventing waste such as unneeded chemicals that affects the environment. Design Safer Chemicals: to prevent people from any type of harmful chemicals and the environment. Safer ways to make Synthetic Products: not using all natural resources and can lost longer. Maximise Atom Economy: convert maximum quantity of reactants to products, with few side-products. Use Safer Solvents: to protect people from dangerous solvents, ie. Drycleaners. Use Renewable Reactants: avoid use of reactants derived from potroleum.

Maximise Energy Efficiency: avoid wasting energy such as heat and electricity during the process. Avoid Chemical Derivatives: avoid unnecessary ‘tinkering’ with molecules during synthesis. Use Catalyst whenever possible: makes the reaction. Design Bio-degradable products: deteriorate products that break down 80% in 21 days. Use real-time analysis to Prevent Pollution: real-time analysis is completed as a chemical process is proceeding. Minimise the Potential for Accidents: which can occur instantly the affects the environment or slowly, ie. Oil leakages.

SiGNa Chemistry, Inc.

SiGNA has used green chemistry based on the companies technology for transforming alkali metals and their derivatives. These metals were known to be hazardous and harmful and SiGNa has transformed them into safe products. This has many improvements in the environment such as safety, efficiency and environmental sustainability across chemical processes in pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and general synthesis industries. These powders now, enable new beneficial technologies such as safe removal of pollutants and rapid production or pure hydrogen fuel for safe energy applications.

Nobel Prize 3 researches were rewarded the 2005 Nobel Prize Chemistry, Dr. Chavin, Prof. Grubbs and Prof. Shrock. The team developed a new method of organic synthesis called ‘catalytic metathesis’. This supports the area in development of new drugs and polymers with unique properties. This is a true green alternative as it uses more and stronger yields.
