We have recognised excellence in the chemical sciences for more than 150 years and we are proud of this legacy and history.

This prize is part of our archive that holds a digital library of our previously administered prizes, their history, and previous winners.

The Green Chemistry Award was for the design, development or implementation of novel chemical products or processes which had the potential to reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.

This award was discontinued in 2020, as part of a series of changes introduced following an independent review of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s recognition programmes.
