Learn the 12 principles of green chemistry that can make greener chemicals, processes or products. Read commentary on each principle from leading scientists.
Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. 12 Principles of Green Chemistry Prevention
The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. 1. Prevent waste: Design chemical syntheses to prevent waste. Leave no waste to treat or clean up. 2. Maximize atom economy: Design syntheses so that the final product contains the maximum proportion of the starting materials. Waste few or no atoms. 3.
The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry are “design rules” to help chemists achieve the intentional goal of sustainability. Green Chemistry is characterized by careful planning of chemical synthesis and molecular design to reduce adverse consequences. Through proper design one can achieve synergies—not merely trade-offs.
Learn about the concepts of green and sustainable chemistry. Find out how green chemistry principles benefit the economy, people and the planet.
This chapter explores why Green Chemistry is vital and introduces the principles on which the approach is founded. Concepts such as Atom Efficiency, are introduced as are the idea that some well-known reaction types are inherently greener than others.
What Is Green Chemistry? Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.

The challenge of green chemistry for both academics and industrialists is to devise sustainable strategies that meet the demand for chemical products from an ever-increasing population.
“Principle 1: It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been created.” 1. 1.1 Green Chemistry: First, Do No Harm. Green chemistry aspires to give us all of the wonderful products we have come to expect in our lives, without the associated pollution of the past.
