Preface
Green chemistry is the inventions, design, and applications of chemical products and processes to reduce or to eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances, maximize the conversion of the starting raw materials into the products, increase the energy efficiency, and minimize the waste production. Green chemistry is the need of the hour as it enables substantial progress toward equitable standards of living in a manner that is sustainable for future generations. It is therefore imperative to teach the value of green chemistry to future generations. The International Conference on “Green Chemistry in Environmental Sustainability and Chemical Education (ICGC-2016)” held in Delhi on November 17 to 18, 2016, provided a platform for high school students, undergraduate and postgraduate students, te
