While Green Chemistry is itself advanced chemical research and development, it clearly plays a significant role in achieving industrial ecology goals.
Some drivers for development of Green Chemistry include;
* The phasing out of some substances and classes of substances because of high toxicity or other environmental impacts.
* Extension of the trend toward product takeback and recycling to chemicals by companies like SafetyKleen.
* New discoveries in toxicological research relating to disruption of endocrine systems, synergistic interactions among toxins, and heightened vulnerability during childhood and pregnancy.
* Technical breakthroughs in substituting industrial enzymes, biomaterials, and liquefied air products for some chemicals.

Hi,everynoe! I'm interested in chemistry,and now working in a chemistry website.

I'm very happy to share what I know to you. As you known, the slogan of 2008's Olympic Game is Green chemical. Similarly, we also should advocate green chemistry in chemical field. Don't you think so?

Green chemistry, also known as sustainable chemistry, is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry applies across the life cycle, including the design, manufacture, and use of a chemical product.
Green chemistry technologies provide a number of benefits, including:
*reduced waste, eliminating costly end-of-the-pipe treatments
*safer products
*reduced use of energy and resources
*improved competitiveness of chemical manufacturers and their customers
