Abstract

Nanotechnology has paved the path into our daily lives in the form of consumer products, ranging from food products to the textile we wear. With this huge inflow of nanoproducts, research has been able to draw conclusions that these products are environment friendly and sustainable for our planet. This particular chapter will bring out the intrinsic arenas, where the usage of nanotechnology and its products has led to a green future and eco-friendly living. There are numerous nanoproducts which are a remedy to the existing scenario of pollution and miseries of human. To add to it, nanotechnology has been of importance to revamp clean energy movement and bring about various techniques to limit the pollution. The basis of green nanoproducts is to make earth less hazardous and less toxic planet to live in. We have put up various intriguing case studies and contemporary research on nanotechnology that is of great importance in the view of sustainability and green future. The upcoming times are waiting for better improvised techniques to deal with existing dreadful pollution and the deadly climate change. Nanotechnology and the products built through nanoscience will play a crucial role in mitigating the issues of our blue planet.
