Green chemistry, similar to sustainable chemistry or circular chemistry, [1] is an area of chemistry and chemical engineering focused on the design of products and processes that minimize or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. [2]
In 2006 the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) promoted the organization of the 1st International IUPAC Conference on Green-Sustainable Chemistry (ICGC-1). This conference, started in collaboration with the German Chemical Society (GDCh), was a major acknowledgement by IUPAC of the relevance of green chemistry.
Green solvents are environmentally friendly chemical solvents that are used as a part of green chemistry.They came to prominence in 2015, when the UN defined a new sustainability-focused development plan based on 17 sustainable development goals, recognizing the need for green chemistry and green solvents for a more sustainable future.

ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society. [1] [2] It covers research in green chemistry, green engineering, biomass, alternative energy, and life cycle assessment. [3] According to Journal Citation Reports, the journal has an impact factor of 7.1 in 2023. [4]
The construction was majority funded by GlaxoSmithKline, as part of their commitment to green chemistry first announced in 2010, [3] and saw a grant of £12 million provided to the project. [2] There are five teaching and research laboratories on the first floor, [4] with write-up space for about 100 researchers.
Green Chemistry is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering every aspect of sustainable chemistry and its implementation in chemical engineering. It is published by the Royal Society of Chemistry and was established in 1999 by James Clark (University of York). Articles published in this journal are intended to be conceptually ...
Paul T. Anastas (born May 16, 1962, in Quincy, Massachusetts) [1] is an American scientist, inventor, author, entrepreneur, professor, and public servant. He is the Director of Yale University's Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering, [2] Previously he served as the Science Advisor to the United States Environmental Protection Agency [3] as well as the Agency's Assistant ...
The first general metric for green chemistry remains one of the most flexible and popular ones. Roger A. Sheldon’s environmental factor (E-factor) can be made as complex and thorough or as simple as desired and useful. [10] The E-factor of a process is the ratio of the mass of waste per mass of product:
