Abstract
The rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization has paved the way toward development at the cost of environmental degradation. The concept of sustainable development has emerged as a tool to minimize the excessive depletion of resources and environmental quality depletion. The paradigm shift toward green technologies is a consequence of the imbalance created, and green nanotechnology has emerged as a very promising field of interest. The intrinsic properties of nanoparticles (NPs) and their unique characteristics have gathered the interest of researchers and scientists across the globe for their employment in green innovation. The nanotechnology for green innovation aims at processes and products which are environment friendly with minimum waste generation, energy efficient, and cost effective. This chapter discusses the impact of green nanotechnology on the various fields and associated issues toward remediation of water, waste, soil, etc. The immense potential of green nanotechnology for expanded use and extended applicability in other areas has also been studied.
