Abstract

Industrialization has significantly impacted the global economy, leading to social movements that have transformed green chemistry since the 1940s. This has led to changes in industrial positions and sustainable processes, improving environmental impact and public awareness. The function of a chemical product is where sustainable chemistry begins, focusing on economic and ethical considerations. Green chemistry serves as a crucial building block for sustainable chemistry, addressing greener synthesis and the more benign qualities of chemicals. Sustainable chemistry aims to develop chemical products and procedures that reduce or eliminate hazardous compound usage and manufacturing. In order to decrease or eliminate the use or manufacture of hazardous compounds in all stages of a specific synthesis or process, green chemistry employs a set of principles that were developed in response to scientific findings concerning pollution awareness. By adhering to all the beneficial principles of green chemistry, chemists and pharmaceutical scientists may drastically lower the danger to human health and the environment. It is obvious that the principles of green chemistry are to increase the environmental friendliness of chemical processes and reactions. Considerations include things like energy efficiency, atom efficiency, safe reactants, renewable resources, and pollution control. This article discusses the potential benefits of green chemistry for industrial biotechnology, highlighting the need for a close relationship between green chemistry and biotechnology, despite advancements in "greener" chemistry, and emphasizes the need for updated biotechnological processes.

Keywords: Green Chemistry, Environment, Industrial Biotechnology, Sustainable Chemistry, green solvent, nanoparticles, catalysts.
