Green Chemistry is the utilization of a set of
principles that reduces or eliminates
the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design,
manufacture and application of chemical products. Green chemistry is a revolutionary philosophy
that seeks to unite government,
academic and industrial communities by placing more emphasis on tending
to environmental impacts at the earliest stage of innovation and
invention. This approach requires an open and interdisciplinary view of
materials design, applying the principle that it is better to not
generate waste
in the first place, rather than disposing or treating it afterwards.
Environmentally
benign alternatives to current materials and technologies must be
systematically introduced across all types of manufacturing.
