Green Chemistry
Green chemistry is is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.
12 principles of green chemistryWhen chemists are designing new synthetic chemicals or redesigning chemical processes, following these 12 principles of green chemistry will aid in reducing waste, hazards, and possible contamination in the environment.

John warnerAlong with the help of Paul Anastas, John Warner came up with the 12 principles of green chemistry. He is often referred to as the "father of green chemistry". He founded the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry in Wilmington, MA, where he conducted research in the field of green chemistry.
