Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents.
Chemical waste comes in many forms, including unreacted starting material, undesired byproducts and solvent waste. With the generation of such waste comes the associated costs of treatment and disposal. The more hazardous the waste and the greater the quantity, the greater the costs. A primary goal of Green Chemistry is to minimize the amount and severity of waste generated in chemical processes, thereby minimizing the associated costs.
