Abstract
Annotation: Green chemistry, also known as sustainable chemistry, aims to design chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. This approach plays a crucial role in environmental protection by minimizing pollution, conserving resources, and promoting safer manufacturing practices. The article explores the principles of green chemistry, recent advancements, and its significant impact on reducing ecological footprints across various industries.
