The Sustainable Chemistry Challenge: Making Molecules, Processes and Plants Cleaner
Sustainability in chemicals and pharmaceuticals extends from the molecules being designed to the processes and plants used to manufacture them. Green chemistry principles can reduce hazardous inputs, process optimisation can lower energy and solvent consumption and circular approaches can recover materials that would otherwise become waste. This edition examines the technologies and scientific approaches supporting cleaner chemistry, exploring alternative feedstocks, solvent reduction, resource efficiency and waste recovery while recognising the technical and economic realities of industrial-scale production.
Editor's Note
Cleaner chemistry begins long before waste reaches the end of a production line. Molecular design, reaction pathways, solvents, energy requirements and process efficiency all influence the environmental footprint of manufacturing. This edition examines sustainability through that complete chemical journey and explores how scientific and engineering decisions can reduce impact while preserving the performance, safety, quality and economics required for viable industrial production.
