Produced by the Triple Science Support Programme, this quick guide looks at our use of chemicals which is inevitable, whatever their source. Green, or sustainable, chemistry develops chemicals and processes capable of performing vital functions, while minimising social and environmental costs.

This is a resource produced by current experts in the field of green chemistry to provide teachers with an understanding of current scientific thinking which they can apply in the classroom. The quick guide is a simplified summary of complex ideas for the busy practitioner teaching out of subject or needing a refresher.
