Welcome to
Your smart green guide to solvent use in analytical chemistry.
Search smarter
Browse solvents with comprehensive environmental, health, and safety scores for evidence-based choices.
Lab use & exposure
Understand hazards during laboratory use and identify safer conditions and alternatives.
From production to waste
Life-cycle thinking across production, laboratory use, and end-of-life treatment.
Waste handling
Discover how to reduce environmental impact.
Why GreenSOL
Solvents are essential in analytical laboratories, but they can also be a major source of environmental, health, and safety impacts. GreenSOL empowers you to make informed, science-based choices so your work is both effective and benign by design.
What you can do here
- Search solvents using comprehensive environmental, health, and safety scores.
- Explore greenness performance across the three stages: production, laboratory use, and waste.
- Find safer alternatives with lower hazards and smaller waste footprints.
- Discover optimum waste treatment methods for each solvent.
- Track and improve your lab’s greenness performance over time.
The innovation
GreenSOL is the first app to combine solvent production, laboratory safety, environmental impact, and end-of-life considerations into a single, intuitive scoring system. Built on cutting-edge scientific research, it integrates life cycle thinking and green analytical chemistry principles into a practical tool you can use every day.
