Abstract

Reliable quantitative tools have been proposed to evaluate and compare the sustainability of processes during the last decades. Metrics in green chemistry allows the possibility to compare different methods and critically select the greenest option. The aim of this chapter is to present an overview of knowledge regarding principal metrics applied as well as their scope. Organic Synthesis, Industrial Processes, Analytical Chemistry and Foodomics were considered. Furthermore, recent trends and future perspectives concerning challenges on how green metrics can contribute to the sustainable progress are stated.

    GAC comprises 12 principles that serve as a guide to defining the framework of green analytical procedures. In the last years, a trend to design environmentally friendly procedures in analytical chemistry has been highlighted [37,38] and the adoption of this kind of procedures is mandatory for adherence to ISO14000 guidelines. However, the application of green chemistry metrics for the evaluation of the greenery of analytical methods is restricted [39].
