The European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry seeks to boost chemistry, biotechnology and chemical engineering research, development and innovation across Europe. SusChem is a multi stakeholder platform to address societal challenges with sustainable chemistry solution creation, using the value chain to connect technology towards the innovation and its societal implementation.
SusChem Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda The objective of this strategy is to accelerate innovation adoption and its societal value by steering towards programs and public private partnerships, that connect value chain related partners from Industry, Academia, centers of expertise and regions to ensure proof of concept/demonstrations in reality conditions. Strategy seeks to support EU 2020 Strategy for sustainable growth, amongst others the flagship initiatives on Innovation Union and Resource Efficiency and to focus the Research & Innovation Agenda on major societal challenges (natural resource scarcity, environment, Green House Gases, energy, )

Resource and Energy Efficiency Partnership, REP is a group of European associations , ETPs, and organisations motivated to promote resource and energy efficiency in process industries .
In October 2010, REP set up a position paper which was distributed to Commissioners De Gucht, Geoghegan-Quinn, Oettinger, Potocnik and Tajani
Summary
The Process Industry needs to be addressed more strongly and ensure a synchronized approach with the discrete manufacturing industry, to address the manufacturing challenges of Europe SusChem and its partners are in an excellent position to drive this with a full value chain approach The SusChem Technology Platform is ready to make a concrete contribution to the EU 2020 Policy implementation We are ready to design and drive a concrete Public Private Partnership to boost innovation on Resource Efficiency in the Process Industry
