Green Chemistry

Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of perilous substances. Green Chemistry’s focus is on the sustainability of the environment. Green Chemistry is an absolute approach to the way that products are made. Green chemistry applies across the life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate disposal. New and innovative Design for Degradation is taken as an important topic to discuss in the present era. Real-time analysis for Pollution Prevention; Analytical methodologies need to be further developed to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of hazardous substances. Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention.

The global market for green chemistry, which includes renewable feedstocks, biobased chemicals, green polymers and less-toxic chemical formulations, is projected to grow from $11 billion in 2015 to nearly $100 billion by 2020.

Similarly, the North American market for "green chemistry" is projected to grow from $3 billion to over $20 billion during the same period, according to Pike Research.
