Green Chemistry aims to minimize the generation of waste and pollution throughout the lifecycle of a chemical product, from its design to its use and disposal.

Green Chemistry is guided by twelve principles, including atom economy, renewable feedstocks, prevention of waste, and others, which aim to reduce the environmental impact of chemical processes.

Inherently Safer Design is a systematic approach to designing chemical processes and products that minimize the potential for accidents, emissions, and waste generation.

Water is a green solvent due to its low toxicity, abundance, and ability to dissolve a wide range of substances.

Bio-based Chemistry involves the use of renewable resources, such as plant-based materials, as feedstocks for the production of chemicals and materials.

Catalytic reactions are green chemical processes because they use catalysts to promote reactions under mild conditions, reducing energy consumption and waste generation.

Design for Recycling, Circular Economy, and Closed-Loop Recycling are all terms used to describe the design of chemical products and processes that can be easily recycled or reused, minimizing waste and promoting sustainability.

Green products are those that are made from recycled materials, are biodegradable, are energy-efficient, or have other environmentally friendly attributes.

Life Cycle Assessment is a technique used to evaluate the environmental impact of a chemical product or process throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.

Solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles are all examples of green technologies that promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact.

Green Medicinal Chemistry is the application of green chemistry principles to the design and development of new drugs, aiming to minimize the environmental impact of pharmaceutical production.

Green chemical reactions are those that use non-toxic catalysts, produce no waste, are carried out at mild conditions, and minimize energy consumption.

Green Materials Chemistry is the application of green chemistry principles to the design and development of new materials, aiming to minimize the environmental impact of materials production and use.

Ionic liquids, supercritical fluids, and deep eutectic solvents are all examples of green solvents that have low toxicity, are non-flammable, and can be easily recycled.

Green Agricultural Chemistry is the application of green chemistry principles to the design and development of new agricultural chemicals, aiming to minimize the environmental impact of agricultural practices.
