| Summary: | The book presents a closer look that shows green chemistry plays an important role. Green chemistry encompasses design and synthesis of environmentally benign chemical processes, green approaches to minimize and/or remediate environmental pollution, the development of biomaterials, biofuel, and bioenergy production, biocatalysis, and policies and ethics in green chemistry. When products in use today become waste, we need to treat that waste so that hazardous substances are not recirculated into new products. In this context, circular economy is also an important point of discussion, which focuses on recycling, reuse and use of renewable sources. The overarching goal of this book is to discuss most recent innovations and concerns in green chemistry as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted to remediate a scathed environment into an unspoiled one. It includes an extensive variety of contributions that demonstrate the importance of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to problem solving within green chemistry and environmental management. World renowned experts present research on and the application of green chemistry and engineering in addressing current issues of an environmental and social nature.
