Principles of Green Chemistry
Prevent waste.
Use catalysts, not stoichiometric reagents: Catalysts are used in small amounts and
can carry out a single reaction many times. They are preferable to stoichiometric
reagents, which are used in excess and work only once.
Originally published by Paul Anastas and John Warner in Green Chemistry: Theory
and Practice (Oxford University Press: New York, 1998).
Now, how can we deal with green chemistry
at our practical life
Just we need to change our mind set
and applying the concept in
Classrooms

Green chemistry has come a long way since its birth in 1991,
growing from a small grassroots idea into a new approach to
scientifically-based environmental protection
All over the world, governments and industries are working
with green chemists to transform the economy into a
sustainable enterprise
Who knows? Green chemistry may be the next social
movement that will set aside all the worlds differences and
allow for the creation of an environmentally commendable
civilization
RECENT TRENDS IN GREEN
CHEMISTRY:
PET recycled from 2 litre soda bottles are
used in new fleece.
Eliminated chlorine bleach in fabrics
No azo dyes, reduced formaldehyde
Glucose is used as an alternative for benzene
in synthesis of Adepic acid.
Corn based poly lacticacid plastics ae used to
make carpets.
Diphenyl carbonate is used as an alternative
for phosgene.
THUS GREEN CHEMISTRY
HAPPENS TO BE THE REMEDY
FOR VARIOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
LIKE SOIL POLLUTION, FOOD
CHAIN MAINTENANCE, WATER
AND AIR POLLUTION.
LETS ASPIRE , ASCEND AND
ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF
GREEN CHEMISTRY!!!!
