Global Green Chelates/Natural Chelating Agents Market Size, Competition Landscape and Supply Chain Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Green chelates or natural chelating agents are environmentally friendly compounds used in various industries, particularly in cleaning products, agriculture, and water treatment. Chelating agents are molecules capable of forming stable complexes with metal ions, and green chelates are those derived from renewable resources or natural compounds. Common examples include citric acid, derived from citrus fruits, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) alternatives like gluconic acid or amino acids. These chelates are preferred over synthetic chelating agents because they are biodegradable, non-toxic, and often derived from sustainable sources. In cleaning products, green chelates can enhance the performance of detergents by binding to and inactivating metal ions in hard water, preventing the formation of mineral deposits. In agriculture, they can be used to improve nutrient availability to plants. The use of green chelates aligns with the principles of green chemistry, emphasizing sustainability, reduced environmental impact, and safer alternatives to traditional chemical compounds.
