The Influenced Trajectory of The Application of Green Chemistry in The Current Manufacturing of Plastic/Polymer Products

The rapid growth of the plastic/polymer industry and the increasing amount of plastic waste has generated a need for the development of more sustainable alternatives to the production and use of polymer products. Green chemistry provides numerous benefits for the polymer manufacturing process, including energy savings, a smaller ecological footprint, and enhanced product performance. Energy can be saved by reducing the number of steps in the manufacturing process and replacing traditional energy-intensive processes, such as thermal polymerization, with more efficient alternatives when using green chemistry. Green chemistry offers an innovative approach to the production of polymer products through the use of environmentally friendly and sustainable chemical processes. This paper explores the application of green chemistry to the manufacturing of plastic/polymer products, focusing on the production of biodegradable polymers with emphasizes on the advantages of green chemistry principles on plastic productions. Also entailed in this study are some perceived problems associated with functional polymers and plastics.
