Green chemistry—a sustainable solution for industrial specialties applications

Abstract

The wellness and sustainability mega-trends will have a decisive influence on the future and, because of this, on the behaviour of consumers. Manufacturers will have to be prepared for the changes that will take place early enough so as not to miss the boat. One of the major goals of sustainability is to maintain an optimal balance between increases in manufacturing output, and a clean and safe environment.

Sustainability will be one of the main drivers for innovation in order to allow the technical industries to care for the well-being of consumers in a safe and healthy environment.

Thus, one area in which significant efforts and progress have been made is in the development of “green” or sustainable chemistry.
