        abstract = {Sustainable chemistry, often referred to as green chemistry, has emerged as a transformative approach for reducing the environmental impact of chemical processes while promoting efficiency, innovation, and safety. This comprehensive review explores the fundamental principles, recent advancements, and future prospects of sustainable chemistry in the context of a greener and more resilient global ecosystem. The article highlights the significance of designing chemical products and processes that minimize toxicity, energy consumption, and waste generation, thereby aligning industrial practices with environmental protection and resource conservation. Key developments such as renewable feedstocks, biodegradable materials, catalytic efficiency, alternative solvents, and energy-efficient synthesis routes are examined in detail. The review also discusses cutting-edge technologies including biocatalysis, photocatalysis, green nanotechnology, and carbon capture and utilization (CCU), which are reshaping modern chemical manufacturing. Furthermore, the integration of life-cycle assessment (LCA) tools, eco-friendly process intensification strategies, and circular economy concepts is analyzed to emphasize their role in enhancing sustainability metrics across industries. In addition, the article evaluates regulatory frameworks, global initiatives, and industrial case studies that demonstrate the tangible benefits of sustainable chemistry, such as reduced emissions, lower operational costs, and improved product safety. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in scaling green technologies, addressing economic barriers, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, this review underscores the vital role of sustainable chemistry in achieving long-term environmental goals and advancing global sustainability. It provides a holistic perspective on emerging trends, technological innovations, and strategic pathways essential for transitioning toward a greener, safer, and more sustainable future.},
