Green and Sustainable Chemistry

Cleaner production and Green Nanotechnologies

Green nanotechnology can affect the proposal of nanomaterials and products by reducing pollution from the production of the nanomaterials, taking a life cycle approach to nanoproducts to estimate and reduce where environmental effects might occur in the product chain, designing toxicity out of nanomaterials and using nanomaterials to treat existing environmental problems. Green nanotechnology has built on the principles of green chemistry and green engineering. Green nanotechnology applications might also involve a clean production process, such as producing nanoparticles with sunlight; the recycling of industrial waste products into nanomaterial.
