- Green chemistry is an approach to chemical research and engineering that seeks to design and develop chemical products and processes that minimize or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. It is an effort to promote the sustainability and environmental friendliness of the chemical industry by reducing the impact of chemical processes on human health and the environment.
- Green chemistry practice involves the design, manufacture, and use of chemicals in ways that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances, reduce waste and energy use, and maximize resource efficiency. It involves applying the principles of chemistry to develop and design products and processes that are inherently safer and more sustainable.
- Some examples of green chemistry practices include the development of biodegradable and non-toxic cleaning products, the use of renewable resources as feedstocks for chemical production, the design of more efficient and selective catalysts for chemical reactions, and the use of solvent-free or low-solvent processes to reduce emissions and waste.
- Green chemistry is an interdisciplinary field that involves chemists, engineers, environmental scientists, and other stakeholders. It seeks to integrate the principles of sustainable development into chemical research and manufacturing, and to promote the development of new chemical products and processes that are safer, more efficient, and more sustainable than traditional approaches.
