Green chemistry, green solventsAbstract
The issue of Green Chemistry in waste management has moved a center stage, both in the public perceptions
and in terms of national regulations. 200 years ago when we first started to burn our waste as a means of
disposal, there was not the understanding that we have today of the need to protect the environment from
airborne emissions. Until recently principal means of waste management has simply been deposit in landfill.
This is now understood as unsustainable practice, creating potential environmental problems for future
generations. Processed In the appropriate manner, waste can be seen as a valuable resource to recover useful
energy for electricity generation.
