A team dedicated to green chemistry

There are nineteen of them. Consultants, researchers, database builders, lovers of processes — and composites. Most have a background in chemistry; all have a sharp eye for the details that matter. The ones that turn a solvent into a score, an ingredient into a scenario, a process into a turning point.

On every front

For fifteen years, this team has been unpacking the life cycles of chemicals, products — and assumptions.
They work across the board: cosmetics and fragrance, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, polymers, composites, energy, detergents, basic chemicals... and they’re just getting started.

A few figures

In 2024: 93 clients supported, over 100 projects delivered

Over 2,000 substances modelled in ASKOR, our tool for life cycle analysis and eco-socio-design

4 sector-specific versions of ASKOR: chemicals, cosmetics/perfume, pharma, and plastics/composites

And 2 guides published for the Association Chimie du Végétal

Not bad, for people who take the time to get things right.

Challenging easy answers

Their focus is green chemistry. Not the shiny label or the vague promise — the concept. The one laid out by Paul T. Anastas in 1998, with twelve principles and plenty of blind spots.This team knows both sides. They know that bio-based doesn’t mean ethical, that a “good” solvent can be a bad idea in disguise, that eco-design starts with hard choices.

They support EVEA’s clients in avoiding shortcuts and building solid sustainability strategies:

• Life cycle assessment, eco-design, environmental communication, training, custom tools
• Chemistry and biotech expertise in support of other EVEA teams
• New offers in emerging sectors: feed additives, hydrogen, CCUS, and more

One last thing. They take chemistry seriously — not solemnly. They work hard, stay up to date, build databases (on footprints, toxicity, ecotoxicity, etc.), and contribute to R&D in assessment methods.

They also make time for an apéro, a karaoke night, or a heated debate about raw-milk cheese. Maybe that’s the real secret to green chemistry: human chemistry.
