ABSTRACT

The scope of Green Chemistry is predicated on, but not limited to, the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998). Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. The Green Chemistry and Commerce Council (GC3) was formed in 2005 and provides an open forum for participants to debate and share information and experiences concerning advancing green chemistry and style for the environment because it pertains to sustainable supply chain management. In 1998, principles of Green chemistry outlined, ask chemists to stop waste, minimize energy use, use renewable raw materials, design biodegradable products, and choose chemicals to attenuate potential accidents. Green chemistry is spreading from academic labs into industry as how to scale back costs, also as environmental, health and safety risks.

Keywords: Green chemistry, Biodegradable, Hazardous, GC3, CGCI.
