Depending on aim and level of studies the contents to be conveyed differ strongly. Therefore a new format was chosen for the new organic chemistry lab course. Not a textbook or script but an interactive database was designed to offer all relevant information. The offer is meant for lab instructors and teachers responsible for practical education in organic chemistry in universities, academies and vocational schools. The NOP material is intended to help set up modern lab courses and seminars, to get concepts and tools of sustainable chemistry across to generations of scientists to come.

Lab experiments with experimental instructions, security information, safety information and analytical data have been amended with non-classical issues like life cycle assessment (LCA), energy consumption and (eco-)toxicological evaluations.
