Sažetak
Abstract: Chemistry, together with physics, biology, geography and geology, develops thanks to the man’s curiosity and his need for answers to questions about his origin, evolution, role and place in nature and universe [1]. Ryoji Noyori, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, stressed: In the 21st century, the field of chemistry will face more than just academic challenges. Indeed, our ability to devise straightforward and practical chemical syntheses is indispensable to the survival of our species [2]. Chemistry is the only science among natural sciences with the most influence on different industries: agriculture, pharmacy, food e.g. Green chemistry is new paradigm that provides solutions to contemporary, ecological and sustainable challenges. The purpose of our paper is to discover holistic perspective of green chemistry. Our goal is to present examples of green business based on green chemistry. Methodology encompasses case studies of companies with green business. Although the implementation of green chemistry is connected with investment, our results show that ecological and sustainable benefits are much higher than the financial costs [3]. Our paper contributes in three ways: it spreads the knowledge and good experience, it shows long term benefits and it raises awareness of paradigm shift towards ecology and sustainability.
