DOZN – A quantitative green chemistry evaluator

illipore Sigma created a unique web-based greener alternative scoring matrix, also known as DOZN™, a quantitative green
chemistry evaluator based on the 12 principles of green chemistry. The 12 principles of green chemistry provide a framework
for learning about green chemistry and designing or improving materials, products, processes and systems. DOZN scores products
based on metrics for each principle and aggregates the principle scores to derive a final aggregate score. The system calculates scores
based on manufacturing inputs, GHS and SDS data which provide a green score for each substance. DOZN is flexible enough to
encompass the diverse portfolio of products ranging from chemistry to biology based products. The DOZN system has also been
verified and validated by a third party to ensure best practices and are applied. This new greener chemistry initiative offer customers
an increased breadth of greener alternative products with confirmatory documentations to validate greener characteristics.
