Abstract:
In this paper an effort has been made to throw some light that green chemistry plays a major role in sustainable development. Green chemistry, also known as sustainable chemistry, is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Eminent international experts present research on and the application of green chemistry and engineering in addressing current issues of an environmental and social nature.
Green chemistry has brought a relatively prompt and positive paradigm shift in the overall use and management of natural resources and raw materials for the development of society with a subtle promise to cause far less pronounced harm to the environment. It provides up-to-date information on selected fields where the principles of green chemistry are being embraced for safeguarding and improving the quality of the environment. Chemistry students need to be encouraged to consider the principles of green chemistry when designing processes and choosing reagents. Green chemistry can be the next social movement that will set aside all the world’s differences and allow for the creation of an environmentally commendable civilization and will be a great help in sustainable development.
