About Green Chemistry

Green chemistry designs chemical processes that reduce waste, hazards, energy use and pollution at the source rather than treating them afterward. Its principles include prevention, atom economy, safer solvents and products, catalysis, renewable feedstocks, energy efficiency, reduced derivatisation and designing substances for degradation.
