This document discusses green engineering principles and concepts. Green engineering aims to reduce pollution and minimize risks to human health and the environment without compromising economic viability. It uses life-cycle assessments to quantify environmental impacts and embraces protecting health and the environment through early design decisions. The key principles are to use systems analysis and impact assessments, conserve ecosystems while protecting people, and strive for inherently safe and benign material and energy inputs and outputs. The conclusion is that greening industry is important for the future and chemical engineers have started introducing ecological changes, but more progress is still needed.

Use life-cycle thinking in all engineering activities. CONCLUSION Green engineering is the design, engineering technique that quantifies a commercialization, and use of broad and detailed set of environmental Ensure that all material and energy inputs and To conclude, driven by fast processes and products in a way that impacts outputs are as inherently safe and benign as developing social and reduces pollution, promotes possible. economic factors, the sustainability, and minimizes risk to greening of the industry is human health and the environment Minimize depletion of natural resources. the key to our future, where without sacrificing economic viability the motivation and efforts of and efficiency.
