Green Chemistry

Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.

It aims to make chemistry more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The 12 Principles

Green chemistry follows twelve principles, including waste prevention, atom economy, safer solvents, energy efficiency, use of renewable feedstocks and design for degradation. The goal is to prevent pollution at the source rather than treat it afterward.

By rethinking reactions and processes, industries can reduce toxicity, waste and energy consumption while remaining economical.
