Green Chemistry

Green chemistry is a set of principles and approaches to chemical research and engineering that aim to reduce or eliminate hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and use of chemical products. Through green chemistry, researchers strive to design more environmentally friendly, efficient and cost-effective chemical processes and products. By taking into account the environmental, economic and social impacts of a chemical process, green chemistry promotes the development of low-toxicity and renewable resources, reducing the risk of environmental harm. Green chemistry also seeks to minimize energy use and waste, making it a key component of sustainable industry and production.
