Abstract
The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry have significantly reshaped the landscape of chemical research and industrial practices by advocating for sustainable and environmentally benign approaches. This abstract revisits the historical evolution of these principles, originally proposed by Paul Anastas and John Warner in 1998, and examines their impact on fostering greener methodologies across various sectors. Each principle from waste prevention to safer chemical design has influenced the development of cleaner production processes, reduced environmental footprint, and promoted innovation in chemical synthesis. By tracing their journey from inception to widespread adoption, this discussion highlights the transformative role of the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry in advancing global sustainability goals and shaping a more responsible future for scientific inquiry and industrial application.
