Green Chemistry, Environmental Pollution, Sustainability, Catalysis, Renewable Resources, Pollution PreventionAbstract
Environmental pollution remains a critical global challenge arising from unsustainable chemical production, industrialization, and excessive resource consumption. Conventional chemical processes, which frequently rely on hazardous substances and energy-intensive pathways, cause significant environmental degradation. Green chemistry provides a sustainable and preventative framework through the development of chemical processes and products that reduce or eliminate waste and toxic substances. This review examines green chemistry strategies over the past fifteen years (2010–2025), including waste prevention, renewable feedstocks, safer solvents, catalysis, energy-efficient processes, and green materials. Applications in agriculture, environmental remediation, water and wastewater treatment, and industrial manufacturing are discussed. Additionally, current challenges and future prospects for widespread implementation are highlighted. Overall, green chemistry represents a viable pathway toward achieving environmental sustainability and pollution prevention.
