The greener chemical process developed by Paul Anastas and John Warner in 1998 outlines the 12 principles of green chemistry for creating a greener process or product, per ACS.
The principles adhere to prevention, atom economy, less hazardous chemical synthesis, designing safer chemicals, safer solvents and auxiliaries, design for energy efficiency, use of renewable feedstocks, reduce derivatives [sic], catalysis, design for degradation, real-time analysis for pollution prevention and inherently safer chemistry for accident prevention.
Companies following the principles generally produce more green ingredients, which falls in line with current consumer trends and interests.
This made us wonder...
