GREEN CHEMISTRY PRINCIPLES:

IV.  Designing Safer Chemicals – Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired function while minimizing their toxicity.

V.  Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries – The use of auxiliary substances (e.g., solvents, separation agents, etc.) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and innocuous when used.

VII.  Use of Renewable Feedstocks – A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable.

X.  Design for Degradation – Chemical products should be designed so that at the end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not persist in the environment.
