Abstract
This chapter introduces mixed topics between nanotechnology, especially nanofibers and environment. The growing awareness related to the environment has led to interest and scrutiny of everything related to environmental preservation and sustainable development of technological processes in general. With the emergence of nanotechnology and the demand for electrospinning technology specifically to obtain nanofibers with unique features, there was a need to highlight the so-called green electrospinning because of the use of chemicals and solvents that may sometimes be very dangerous in the traditional electrospinning process. In this section, the concept of development and sustainable materials were mentioned, and green electrospinning was shown, both in terms of the materials used in it and in terms of the different methods adopted in this technology. Despite the many advantages of this technology for producing sustainable nanofibers, there are a number of challenges that were mentioned in this section. Finally, various applications of green electrospinning in the fields of tissue engineering, wound dressings, facemasks, food, agriculture, environment, biomedicine and textiles were discussed.
