Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry, also known as sustainable chemistry, is a design philosophy that seeks to reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances throughout the entire lifecycle of a chemical product. Guided by twelve core principles, it promotes innovations such as waste prevention, the use of renewable resources, increased energy efficiency, and the design of safer, biodegradable chemicals. As a highly interdisciplinary field, green chemistry integrates chemical knowledge with environmental science, engineering, and economics to develop sustainable solutions that protect human health and the environment while remaining economically viable.
