Green nanotechnology integrates environmentally friendly approaches with nanoscience to develop sustainable solutions for environmental remediation. By utilizing biogenic and eco-friendly methods for nanoparticle synthesis, green nanotechnology minimizes hazardous byproducts and promotes the use of renewable resources. These nanoparticles, often derived from plant extracts, microorganisms, or biodegradable materials, exhibit enhanced catalytic, adsorptive, and antimicrobial properties critical for treating pollutants in air, water, and soil. The application of green-synthesized nanomaterials offers promising avenues for removing heavy metals, degrading organic contaminants, and neutralizing toxic substances without introducing additional ecological risks. Furthermore, this approach aligns with circular economy principles by emphasizing waste valorization, resource efficiency, and energy conservation. As a transformative discipline, green nanotechnology holds significant potential for advancing cleaner production processes, fostering ecosystem restoration, and contributing to global sustainability goals through innovative remediation strategies that are both effective and eco-compatible.
