Abstract

Green chemistry, sometimes referred to as sustainable chemistry, takes a different approach to studying chemical reactions and creating novel materials. Green chemistry's primary objective is to reduce the use and production of hazardous materials to lower environmental impact and boost cost-effectiveness. The paradigms and ideas of green chemistry are covered in this study, with particular attention paid to the twelve principles of waste minimization, atom economy, and the use of renewable feedstock, among others, in order to develop workable and secure methods for conducting chemical reactions and producing chemical products. Green chemistry is romanticized in a variety of industries, including but not limited to the pharmaceutical, energy, textile, and agricultural sectors. These industries modify goods such as less hazardous pharmaceuticals, bio-composites, and environmentally friendly agricultural chemicals. Notably, despite the advantages of green chemistry, there are drawbacks as well. It has advantages that examine how it affects the economy and environment by reducing emissions and waste, as well as health problems by lowering chemical toxicity.
