Abstract

The urgency of sustainable development has placed green chemistry at the forefront of scientific, economic, and social transformations. Green chemistry, a field dedicated to designing products and processes that reduce or eliminate hazardous substances, plays a crucial role in shaping sustainable industries and influencing social system reforms. This chapter explores how green chemistry serves as a fundamental driver of sustainable development by reducing environmental pollution, enhancing resource efficiency, and fostering social equity. The chapter begins by outlining the principles of green chemistry and its contribution to reducing ecological footprints, particularly in industrial and manufacturing sectors. It examines the impact of green chemistry on health and environmental policies, focusing on its potential to minimize toxic waste, improve water and air quality, and reduce reliance on non-renewable resources. Additionally, it explores how regulatory frameworks and governmental policies support or hinder the widespread adoption of green chemistry practices.
