Green chemistry: this the design of chemical compounds and process that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substance, Often referred to as a form of molecular level pollution prevention, Green chemistry relies on a set of 12 principles that can be used to design and re-design molecules, materials and chemical transformation to be safer for human and the environment.

  • It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it is formed.
  • It is better to minimize the amount of materials used in the production of a product.
  • It is better to use and generate substance that is nontoxic
