An introduction to the 12 principles of Green Chemistry, which provide guidelines for ways to ‘reduce the harm’ that chemical processes do to the planet. Students will develop a novel way to approach scientific problems by taking into account sustainability at the conception of all new chemical syntheses and processes - ‘benign by design’.
