Figure 1.1. Growth in global green chemistry research and education, (top) In the early 1990s, green chemistry efforts were focused mainly in the United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom, (middle) The late 1990s and early 2000s saw green chemistry networks and GCI chapters make inroads in South America, Asia, and Oceania, (bottom) As of2008, green chemistry initiatives are underway in Africa, and gains on virtually every continent have been made.

Figure 1.3. Visualizing atom economy, process efficiency, and waste generation using the Green Chemistry Assistant web application developed by St. Olaf College. The diagram on the left shows a process that uses excess reagents, generates coproducts and byproducts, has poor solvent and catalyst recovery, and involves a reaction that does not go to completion. In contrast, the diagram on the right depicts a 100% atom-economical reaction using small amounts of solvent and catalyst that are completely recovered. Such graphical representations help the user quickly identify problem areas in a chemical process.
