MilliporeSigma (The life science business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) developed and launched DOZN鈩2.0 in 2017, a unique web-based greener alternative scoring matrix. This quantitative green chemistry evaluator is based on the 12 principles of green chemistry for customers to evaluate their relative greenness of their processes which provide a framework for learning about green chemistry and designing or improving materials, products, processes, and systems. DOZN鈩2.0 scores products based on metrics for each principle and aggregates the principle scores to derive a final aggregate score. Through the system it is possible to calculate a green score for each substance based on manufacturing inputs, GHS, and SDS data. DOZN鈩2.0 is flexible enough to encompass a diverse portfolio of products and it has been verified and validated by a third party to ensure best practices are applied. Based on customer feedback, an upgraded version of the tool, DOZN鈩3.0, launched in December 2024. Through DOZN鈩3.0, customers now have access to calculate the green scores of their processes and products. DOZN鈩3.0 keeps data privacy top of mind - allowing customers to score their processes/products in a safe and secure manner. Come learn how to make your science greener using this free, web-based tool provides users with more data so that they are properly equipped to improve their sustainability!

Bio:

Ettigounder (Samy) Ponnusamy joined Sigma-Aldrich as a chemist in 1988 after his postdoctoral studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago and, in 2007, he helped found the company鈥檚 green chemistry team. In 2015, following the acquisition of Sigma-Aldrich by the Life Science business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which operates as MilliporeSigma in the U.S. and Canada, Samy continued his role of managing and expanding new green business opportunities, as well as research and development for greener alternatives.

In his role as Director & Fellow - green chemistry, Samy developed the unique DOZN鈩 system鈥攁 third party-validated/published green chemistry evaluator based on the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Today, this tool plays an integral role in quantifying greener products for Merck and its customers both in industry and academia - having received a Top Project of the Year award by Environment + Energy Leader in 2020. Also, Samy is one of the recipients of Merck Technology Award 2021 and Sustainability Award 2022 from Chiesi, Italian Pharma Company for DOZN鈩.

Samy has more than 40+ years of experience managing new product developments鈥攆rom bench scale through product launch鈥攚ith many products showing sustained growth over time. He has extensive experience in applying green chemistry concepts across all disciplines of chemistry and polymer/organic chemistry, and process technology skills in the development of innovative biopolymers for drug-delivery applications.

Samy is the holder or co-holder of seven U.S. patents, and is the recipient of more than a dozen honors, including the Outstanding Scientist award from the Academy of Science in St. Louis (2011) and Fellow of the Academy of Science in St. Louis; the first-ever CEO award for Outstanding Achievements (2012); Sigma-Aldrich鈥檚 Global Citizenship awards (2008, 2009 and 2010); and Sigma-Aldrich鈥檚 Safety awards for eliminating the hazards in manufacturing polyamino acid polymers (2002 and 2008). Samy also received Sustainability Star recognition from ACS/GCI in May 2024. Samy served as co-chair for the American Chemical Society鈥檚 (ACS) Green Chemistry Institute (GCI) Chemical Manufacturer鈥檚 Roundtable and is a member of the Polymer Chemistry and Polymeric Materials Science Division. He has also been selected/served as a judge for the U.S. Green Chemistry Challenge Award Program (2018, 2019, 2023 & 2024) by ACS/EPA, Serves as ACS GC&E Advisory Committee Member (2023 -2025). Samy served as a Leadership Committee Member for the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC) 2020 - 2023; currently serving as a GCTLC Advisory Committee Member 2024 鈥 2026 (by ACS GCI/Beyond Benign).

Also, Samy leads the new Greener Chemistry Consultancy Business Developments at MilliporeSigma. He is instrumental in expanding DOZN application to both virtual and in-lab curriculum to various academic institutions globally in collaboration. Also, Samy helped to launch Beyond Benign鈥檚 Organic and In-organic Labs with DOZN applications.

Samy earned his Ph.D. from the University of Madras. His thesis was titled 鈥淧olymer Chemistry: Syntheses and Studies of Certain Copolyesters of Terephthalic Acid and Diols,鈥 and he is the co-author of 50+ related scientific articles.
