Green Chemistry
About this Collection
The chemical industry, in tandem with other businesses, provides society with a wide variety of essential products, including healthcare products to packaging materials. An increasingly unavoidable by-product of these industries is their contribution to pollution and global warming. In response to this, there is a rising demand for more sustainable manufacturing processes.
The aim of green chemistry is to develop chemical processes and eco-friendly products that will prevent pollution by creating alternatives to hazardous substances. By definition, this subject area relates to “the utilization 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” (Anastas & Warner, 1998).
The aim of this collection is to bring together recent works related to developments and improvements within the green chemistry field in a bid to drive innovation forward.
This collection focuses on research articles that are related but not limited to the 12 principles of green chemistry:
Open Research Europe requires open access to research data supporting articles under the principle ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary’. All articles should include citations to repositories that host the data underlying the results, together with any information needed to replicate, validate, and/or reuse the results/your study and analysis of the data. We recognise there may be exceptions due to ethical, data protection, or confidentiality considerations, or because the data have been obtained from a third party and access restrictions apply.
