Abstract

Green chemistry, a rapidly evolving discipline, aims to design chemical processes and products that minimize environmental impact while maximizing efficiency and sustainability. This paper provides an overview of the principles and practices of green chemistry, emphasizing the importance of atom economy, renewable feedstocks, energy efficiency, and waste minimization. Key aspects of green chemistry, including benign synthesis routes, catalysis, and solvent selection, are discussed in the context of their environmental and economic benefits. The paper highlights recent advancements in green chemistry research, such as the development of novel catalysts, the utilization of biobased feedstocks, and the design of safer chemicals. Case studies illustrate the application of green chemistry principles in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, polymers, and agrochemicals, showcasing the potential for innovation and sustainability.
