Environmental and Green Chemistry

Protecting Our Planet

Environmental chemistry studies the chemical processes in nature and how human activity affects them. Green chemistry seeks to design products and processes that reduce or eliminate hazardous substances.

  • Focuses on sustainability, waste reduction, and renewable resources.
  • Innovates safer materials and energy-saving reactions.

Real-World Impact

  • Replacing toxic solvents with biodegradable alternatives.
  • Creating plastics from plants instead of petroleum.

Examples

  • Water treatment plants use chemical principles to purify drinking water.

  • Developing compostable bioplastics for packaging.
