Abstract
The development and evolution of the chemical industry is directly responsible for
many of the technological advancements that have emerged since the late 19th
century.
However, it was not until the 1980s that the environment became a priority for the
chemical industry. This was prompted largely by stricter environmental regulations
and a need to address the sector’s poor reputation, particularly due to pollution and
industrial accidents.
But the industry is now rapidly improving, and this changing mindset has provided
the backdrop for the emergence of green chemistry.
