Abstract |
Green chemistry, a philosophy only recently introduced to the chemicals industry, promotes the careful design of chemicals manufacturing processes to reduce the use of toxic components and minimize waste and energy use. The sustainable and more benign practices that follow green chemistry's principles have found support in industry and government and are being researched more and more by universities and government agencies around the world. This article discusses the prospects for introducing the concept of green chemistry in Colombia. |
