Its important to name the twelve principles of Green Engineering [2]: The 12 principles provide a framework for engineers

and scientists involved in the design of processes and products thinking about the benefit of human health and the environment. Principle 1: Inherent Rather Than Circumstantial. Designers need to strive to ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are as inherently nonhazardous as possible. The toxic hazards of hazardous substances can be minimized with an investment of time, money, materials and energy resources. Principle 2: Prevention Instead of Treatment. It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it is formed . In some cases the waste treatment it is more expensive than its re-use, therefore, industries must design techniques to achieve the reuse of waste materials. Principle 3: Design for separation. Separation and purification operations should be designed to minimize energy consumption and materials use.

Principle 4: Maximize Efficiency. Products, processes, and systems should be designed to maximize mass, energy, space, and time efficiency. Principle 5: Output-Pulled Versus Input-Pushed. Products, processes, and systems should be output pulled rather than input pushed through the use of energy and materials. Principle 6: Conserve Complexity. Embedded entropy and complexity must be viewed as an investment when making design choices on recycle, reuse, or beneficial disposition. Principle 7: Durability Rather Than Immortality. Targeted durability, not immortality, should be a design goal. Principle 8: Meet Need, Minimize Excess. Design for unnecessary capacity or capability (e.g., one size fits all) solutions should be considered a design flaw. Principle 9: Minimize Material Diversity. Material diversity in multicomponent products should be minimized to promote disassembly and value retention.

Principle 10: Integrate Material and Energy Flows. Design of products, processes, and systems must include integration and interconnectivity with available energy and materials flows. Principle 11: Design for Commercial Afterlife Products, processes, and systems should be designed for performance in a commercial afterlife. Principle 12: Renewable Rather Than Depleting. Material and energy inputs should be renewable rather than depleting.

The Science and Chemical Engineering have as permanent challenge; improve their production processes through clean technologies and reducing their emissions, optimizing the performance of their plants by saving energy and raw materials taking responsibility for the proper use of their products. Contribute through their knowledge in the handling, treatment and recycling of substances and products classified as toxic and dangerous and technologies applied to wastewater treatment solids, liquids and gases, carried out in the production plants.

It is the chemical field which can, through physical, chemical and microbiological tests, to analyze and measure contaminants, by developing technologies based on physics and chemistry can protect and safeguard the environment. The design and proper handling of chemicals, as well as reducing emissions from chemical and pharmaceutical industries, depends largely the future of the planet. Considering the challenge of green chemistry and science is as diverse as the scientific imagination, it is not surprising that its implementation involves all sectors of society, from research to the government and education. This last involves forming future citizens with responsible attitudes and behavior in environmental terms. At present and future generations the conservation of the environment should be the focus of technological and industrial development, and thus not only ensures good quality of life of the population, but an environment without degradation, it means, sustainable development. The task of large industries is thus comply with standards that have been established for the conservation of the environment and follow the principles of Green Engineering, designing alternatives and techniques for process optimization preventing environmental pollution and allowing the nature a welfare state. This

requires changing the thought that the only important thing is to get more money but look at the impacts that industrial production has on society and The Earth. Its not an easy task, nor can you make from one day to the next, but with hard work of all humanity is the best option to ensure that the Earth be in good conditions to house many generations.
