Finding the innovation in green chemistry/engineering

O quest to design chemical processes and products aimed at the reduction or elimination of hazardous substance (chemical) use has bourn considerable fruit in the field of green chemistry/engineering. Complementary sets of green chemistry and green engineering principles have provided the directions involved in this paradigm shift. The principles used to design green processes can be employed in the assessment of the new technology involved. Green process innovation exemplifies the strength and direction of new process development.
