Sustainable and green chemistry in pharmaceuticals involves designing products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. This approach aims to minimize the environmental and health impacts of pharmaceutical manufacturing and usage. Here's a detailed look at the concepts and practices involved:
Sustainable Chemistry
Definition: Sustainable chemistry focuses on developing chemical products and processes that are environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially responsible. It emphasizes the use of renewable resources, energy efficiency, and the reduction of waste and hazardous materials.
Key Principles:
Green Chemistry
Definition: Green chemistry, a subset of sustainable chemistry, specifically focuses on designing chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. It aims to create safer products and processes, reduce energy consumption, and minimize waste.
