Sustainable development is a strategic direction of the chemical and allied industries worldwide. The symposium will provide a unique forum for the researchers, scientists, and practitioners all over the world to assess and critique the current status and future directions of research and development in integrating sustainability into chemical product and process systems engineering. This is the first of this kind of symposium to be held in Asia where green engineering is of utmost importance to sustainable development in economic globalization.

      The symposium will provide a forum to exchange the recent research results concerning sustainable chemical technologies for achieving genuine economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It will be centered on the themes of designing and manufacturing green materials and products using green processes and systems. This symposium will feature comprehensive discussions of the needs for accelerating technological development. It will be particularly encouraged that within this symposium, a workshop focusing on international collaboration will be conducted.
