Industrial perspectives

Submissions now open

Deadline: 15 August 2025
Guest Editors: Gary Walker, Lubrizol

Chemical industries have a major role to play in the drive towards a sustainable future. The products manufactured by chemical industries touch all aspects of society, and many of the changes required to achieve sustainability will have a profound impact on how chemical companies operate. Such changes will include regulatory developments from regional and central governments, and new scientific innovations from the laboratories of the companies themselves.

To highlight this, RSC Sustainability is inviting selected researchers working in industry to contribute to a themed collection titled Industrial Perspectives. This collection will serve as a platform to showcase the sustainability agenda of different companies operating in various sectors of the chemical industry and provide companies with an opportunity to elaborate on their Green and Sustainable Chemistry strategies. We are inviting researchers from all sectors of industry, from pharmaceuticals to petrochemicals, from consumer products to commodity chemicals, to share the sustainability vision for their company and for the future of their industry. If you would be interested in contributing to this collection, email us to enquire now.

This themed collection will accept Perspective articles. Perspective articles can be written through the lens of an individual or company on a topic of interest to the readership of the journal. Primary research papers are not within the scope of this collection, but we welcome primary research to the journal outside of this themed collection.

Perspectives on any topic relating to the relationship between chemical industry and Sustainable and Green Chemistry are welcome.

To have your Perspective considered for this collection, indicate the collection title and shortcode SUIndPer24 on the online submission form.
