In recent decades, green chemistry dominated the imagination of
sustainability scholars all over the world and was embraced by
leading global universities and companies. This new concept is
supposed to address the environmental crisis by making chemistry
safer and less polluting. And yet, under this seemingly
straightforward success story hides a tangled and ambiguous
reality: alternative frameworks, shoddy greenness criteria, and
power struggles. This book retraces the history of the green
chemistry concept and critically assesses its claims and dominant
narratives about it. It is an indispensable guide for all those
interested in the challenges of sustainability, whether they have
background in chemistry or not. Its underlying question is: is
green chemistry really that green?
