GREEEN CHEMISTRY/SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY – An area of chemistry and chemical engineering focused on the designing of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances.
Focuses on technological approaches to preventing pollution and reducing consumption of non-renewable resources.
Benign chemistry that does no harm to human or to the environment
Green chemistry(GC) is characterized by careful planning of chemical synthesis and molecular design to reduce adverse consequences
The concept of GC is based on twelve principles
The twelve principles are design guidelines to help chemists achieving the intentional goal of sustainability
Introduced by Paul Anastas and John Warner in 1998.
A guiding framework for the design of new chemical products and processes, applying to all aspects of the process life-cycle from the raw materials used to the efficiency and safety of the transformation, the toxicity and biodegradability of products and reagents used.
