Need of green chemistry in present era

H. R. Tiwary

ABSTRACT:

The twenty-first century is marked by rapid industrialisation, advancement in technology, urbanisation, and population growth; all these have significantly increased the demand for chemical products and industrial processes. Nevertheless, conventional chemical practices have also resulted in strict environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources, climate change, and adverse health effects due to the generation of toxic wastes and hazardous substances. In this perspective, green chemistry has emerged as a sustainable and novel approach aimed at minimising or eliminating the use and generation of harmful chemicals. Green chemistry focuses on the plan of safer chemicals, energy-efficient processes, renewable feed stocks, and waste prevention strategies. This research paper highlights the growing necessity of green chemistry in the present scenario and discusses its principles, applications, environmental significance, industrial relevance, economic benefits, and role in sustainable development. The study further emphasises the significance of adopting eco-friendly technologies in sectors like pharmaceuticals, agriculture, polymers, energy production, as well as manufacturing industries. Green chemistry not only contributes to prevention of pollution and conservation of resources but also promotes economic growth by encouraging innovation and the development of green technologies. The article also reflects the role of education, government policies, and scientific research in promoting sustainable chemical practices. The result suggest that the adoption of green chemistry is vital for achieving environmental sustainability, protecting public health, and ensuring a balanced coexistence between industrial development and ecological safeguarding.
