Abstract
Sustainable chemical engineering practices are essential for minimizing the environmental impact of industrial-scale production processes, while maintaining efficiency, product quality, and economic viability. These practices encompass a range of strategies, including process optimization, waste reduction, energy efficiency improvements, and the use of renewable feedstocks. This article explores the role of chemical engineering in promoting sustainability in industrial-scale production, focusing on green chemistry, process intensification, and the adoption of circular economy principles. The paper also discusses key challenges and future directions for achieving more sustainable chemical manufacturing.
