green solvents

Green solvents are environmentally friendly liquids used to replace traditional solvents in industrial and laboratory processes. They are designed to minimize health risks, reduce pollution, and have a lower carbon footprint. Typically derived from renewable resources or engineered to be less toxic and more biodegradable, green solvents aim to preserve productivity while protecting the environment. Examples include water, bio-based solvents from plant materials, and ionic liquids. Their adoption supports sustainable practices by decreasing hazardous waste and energy consumption, contributing to safer workplaces and a healthier planet.
