DOZN™ - A Quantitative Green Chemistry Evaluator

MilliporeSigma 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.

DOZN™ scores products based on metrics for each principle and aggregates the principle scores to derive a final aggregate score.

DOZN™ is flexible enough to encompass the diverse portfolio of products, ranging from chemistry to biology-based products.
