Abstract

Green and sustainable development of consumer products is need for incorporation of human lifestyle and analyzes the environmental impacts. The ultimate goal of any development in science is to improve human health and well-being. Therefore, scientific communities are always eager to develop or apply clean and green technology in research fields. A branch of green nanotechnology is highly contributing in the form of green approaches for producing nanoproducts/nanomaterials, which will not affect or harm the human and environment. In this chapter, we mainly focus on a current state of technology used in the manufacture of green nanoproducts in order to develop the materials, and many nanomaterials are being used for solving environmental issues. It provides a preliminary analysis of significant property of normally used nanomanufacturing techniques including various parameters. This chapter also deals with the current research in the development of new nanomaterials for potential applications in the field of environment concern, such as solar cells, water purifying technology, air pollution control, etc.

Finally, we highlighted the road map of current technologies, indicated the future directions, and discussed any drawbacks, if any. We pointed out the fundamental obstacles in the field of green nanotechnology and argued that the improvement in green and sustainable technologies has the high potential to solve the new and challenging problems. We believe that our work greatly increases the understanding and usability of green nanoproducts.
